This paper aims to discuss the recent development in rock hardness testing methods and
their applications in rock engineering and geological studies. Hardness is one of the …

The abrasive and rock properties have a significant impact on the performance and
profitability of abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting. In the relevant literature, there is no …

Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) has been widely used for the cutting of hard materials such as
rocks. The AWJ cutting of rocks has been well documented in the relevant literature. In these …

Abrasives play a critical role in the erosion process of abrasive waterjet (AWJ). Therefore,
they can significantly affect the performance and profitability of cutting. In the relevant …

The quality evaluation of the surrounding rock is the cornerstone of tunnel design and
construction. Previous studies have confirmed the existence of a relationship between …

Rock cutting performance of recycling abrasives was investigated in terms of cutting depth,
kerf width, kerf taper angle and surface roughness. Gravity separation technique was …

The current study investigates the wear life of button bits and rate of penetration (ROP) of
rotary-percussive drilling machines by employing geotechnical rock properties. According to …

Rock penetration is the most important function of tunnel boring machines (TBMs). Based on
a detailed review of TBM rock penetration research, this study introduces a rarely reported …

Oil's widespread use in many economic activities has made it as one of the world's most
