Temperature can affect the physical and mechanical properties of rocks. With the aim of
better understanding the effect of thermally-induced cracks on rock failure process, we …

To improve the mining efficiency of geothermal energy, this paper designed a mode II
fracture test of double-edge notched cube granite samples after a thermal shock to study the …

The thermal cracking mechanism has been increasingly investigated to analyse and solve
the mechanical behaviour of rocks in deep underground engineering. Classic laboratory …

Heat from gas explosions affects the physical and mechanical properties of rock and
reduces the stability of tunnels, such as in coal mines. This paper mainly studies the physical …

In deep‐earth engineering, the high earth temperature can significantly affect the rock's
mechanical properties, especially when the rock is cooled during the construction process …

Beishan granite is an ideal surrounding rock for high-level radioactive waste repository, and
its stability plays an important role in the safe disposal of nuclear waste. However, the …

To explore the effects of thermal treatment on cracking processes in granite, granite samples
were thermally treated at 25–400° C and then loaded under uniaxial compression. Active …

To investigate the evolution and stability characteristics of granite thermal damage, a series
of Brazilian splitting tests is conducted on high-temperature granite samples using digital …

Abstract Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) improve geothermal energy extraction but
can cause rapid cooling of high-temperature rocks, leading to internal fractures that weaken …

In order to study the physical and mechanical properties of sandstone under high-
temperature water-cooling cycling conditions, an RMT-150B electrohydraulic servo rock …
