Peridynamic (PD) theory is an integral-type nonlocal continuum mechanics theory that
reformulates the equation of motion in local continuum mechanics as an integrodifferential …

The cracked chevron notched Brazilian disc (CCNBD) specimen is a suggested testing
method to measure Mode-I fracture toughness of rocks by ISRM, which is widely adopted in …

In this article, a series of laboratory experiments are carried out to investigate the coupled
hydro-mechanical failure, energy and permeability of fissured rock-like specimens under the …

In this work, the support vector regression method is combined with six metaheuristic
optimization models of particle swarm optimization, grey wolf optimization, multiverse …

In this study, 3-D particle-based discrete element methodology (DEM) is applied to
investigate the mechanical and failure characteristics of fissured marble specimens in true …

Given that the forces acting on the inverts of high-speed railway tunnels are complex and
their proper accommodation is critical to traffic safety, an in-situ stress test was conducted on …

The coupled hydro-mechanical loading conditions commonly occur in the geothermal and
petroleum engineering projects, which is significantly important influence on the stability of …

The pre-peak cyclic shear mechanism of two-order asperity degradation of rock joints in the
direct shear tests with static constant normal loads (CNL) are investigated using …

We propose a field-enriched finite element model to simulate the dynamic growth of moving
cracks in brittle solids. The paper introduces the dynamic model and verifies its accuracy by …

Seismic events triggered by stress unloading during geo-energy extraction activities have
become a key focus in both seismological research and engineering safety. This study …
