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 …

Rock masses are heterogeneous materials containing a large number of discontinuities, and
the failure of the natural rock mass is induced by the crack propagation and coalescence of …

In underground engineering constructions, fractured rock masses are likely to be subjected
to three-dimensional static stress and dynamic loading simultaneously. In this study, via a …

A 3-D conjugated bond-pair-based peridynamic model is developed to comprehensively
investigate failure characteristics of rock-like materials with intermittent fissures in the …

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 …

It is generally known that discontinuities have a remarkable influence on the mechanical
behaviour of rock masses. To further understand the fracture mechanisms of jointed rock …

Rock materials contain various scales of pre-existing flaws that greatly influence the stability
of rock engineering. The study of strength and failure behavior of pre-flawed rock enhances …

Experimental research on the growth of internal flaws has rarely been reported due to the
fact that it is difficult to cut internal flaws in specimens and cannot capture the initiation and …

Abstract for a deeper understanding of the deformation failure behavior of jointed rock,
numerical compression simulations are carried out on a rock specimen containing non …

Flaws widely exist in engineering rock masses, which significantly influence the overall
mechanical behaviors (strength, elastic modulus and failure, etc.) of rock masses. The study …
