This work aims to reveal the effect of cyclic disturbance frequency, ie, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0
Hz, on damage cracking and energy dissipation characteristics of rock‐backfill composite …

The ultrasonic tensile test method recently developed by the Authors is applied with the
micro-computed tomography technique aiming to correlate the failure-inducing nominal …

To investigate the splitting tensile characteristics of a new building material, namely
magnesium-based wood-like material (MWM), the cubic splitting tensile tests were carried …

In recent years, with the improvement of construction safety requirements in deep well
mining, the backfill mining method has been widely used. However, the strength of paste …

The pre-existing cracks with various geometric and physical properties significantly affect the
mechanical behaviors of rock mass. In this study, uniaxial compressive tests are performed …

Tensile and shear failure are the main damage modes of rocks in geotechnical engineering.
To investigate the energy evolution and failure characteristics of coarse-grained sandstone …

In this work, the color difference phase separation (CDPS) approach is proposed to segment
the solid and pore phases. Pore‐scale variables are defined to describe the microstructural …

The effect of earthquakes on deep tunnels near faults has always been a significant issue in
underground engineering research. The presence of fault fracture zones tends to intensify …

To investigate the influence of boundary effects on the damage and fracture characteristics
of brittle materials under explosive loads, studies were conducted using explosive model …

This work aimed to study the initial stress to cracking of Cameroonian tropical woods. The
forests of the Cameroonian part of the Congo Basin, abound in species highly sought after …
