Loading rate affects not only the mechanical properties of rock but also the cracking
behaviour or the failure mode. Firstly, experimental studies on the mechanical properties …

Dynamic disturbance resulting from blasting, excavation, and earthquakes might change the
stress state, friction characteristics, failure mechanism, and the fault's failure mode, induce …

To more accurately determine the mechanical behavior of geomaterials exposed to different
stress conditions, we developed a novel three-directional servo-controlled loading …

Fault activation induced by dynamic normal disturbance loads resulting from activities such
as blasting, excavation, and earthquakes has the potential to trigger significant geological …

Fracture mechanics theory and seismological observations suggest that slip-rate is
constantly changing during earthquake rupture, including dramatic acceleration from static …

In the numerical simulation of induced seismicity, much attention is generally paid to the
calibration of the frictional resistance of the causative fault to obtain a seismic moment …

Slip-friction of faults and joint fractures is of great significance in the study of rock mass
structural engineering stability and earthquake generation mechanism. Laboratory friction …
