Rockburst is a difficult problem in underground resource development and infrastructure
construction. With scientific and technological progress, more research technologies and …

With the shallow resources dwindling, many countries have entered into deep mining one
after another. Rock fracture caused by high stress mining disturbances is a significant …

Recent attempts to solve rock mechanics problems using the numerical manifold method
(NMM) have been regarded as fruitful. In this paper, a coupled hydro-mechanical (HM) …

To investigate the stability of a soil-rock-mixture (SRM) slope subjected to sequential
excavation, two modifications are made to the numerical manifold method (NMM). One …

The full response of a brittle structure containing multiple cracks to loading under the servo
control is of vital importance in the evaluation of properties of the structure. During crack …

We study rockburst generation in discontinuous rock masses using theoretical and
numerical approaches. We begin by developing an analytical solution for the energy change …

Rockburst is a common geological disaster in underground engineering, posing significant
challenges. Data-driven methods provide powerful tools for the assessment and early …

The extent of the loosening zone in tunnels excavated through columnar jointed basalts is
studied with the numerical discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) method. The structure …

Based on the mathematical grid of 4-node tetrahedral finite element form, the dual cover
system, weight function and displacement function of three-dimensional numerical manifold …

Numerical manifold method (NMM) is a typical continuous-discontinuous coupling method. It
unifies the continuous and discontinuous theories in the same program framework. In the …
