In the failure of quasi-brittle materials such as rocks, microstuctural damage always
precedes macroscopic fracture and manifests itself in the formation of fracture process zones …

The purpose of this review is to discuss the development and the contribution of the
experiments and numerical simulations in compression‐induced failure characteristics of …

Glutenite is an important unconventional tight oil and gas reservoir. Due to the glutenite
formation with strong heterogeneity and variable lithology which contains a large number of …

Effective methane extraction in underground coal seams can improve the efficient utilization
of fossil energy and reduce the risk of safety accidents in coal mines. Pulsating nitrogen …

A propagating fluid driven fracture in a rock mass is expected to interact with geological
interfaces on a wide variety of length scales. The vertical growth of hydraulic fractures in …

Abstract Nano-CaCO 3 concrete (NCC) has good mechanical properties due to its dense
structure, and the addition of basalt fiber can effectively improve its fracture properties. The …

To enhance the computational efficiency of fluid–solid coupling in peridynamics (PD), a
hybrid modeling approach based on the classical Biot theory is proposed for simulating …

True triaxial experiment with a synchronous acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system is a
popular measure for the assessment of strength and cracking behaviors of brittle flawed …

The mechanical characteristics and failure behavior of rocks containing flaws or
discontinuities have received wide attention in the field of rock mechanics. When external …

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted rock breaking is a potentially effective technique to accelerate
hard rock drilling processes. Fatigue damage is a primary factor that governs rock …
