The confluence of our ability to handle big data, significant increases in instrumentation
density and quality, and rapid advances in machine learning (ML) algorithms have placed …

Anthropogenic operations involving underground fluid extraction or injection can cause
unexpectedly large and even damaging earthquakes, despite operational and regulatory …

We conducted fluid injection experiments on cylindrical low‐permeability granite samples
with a critically stressed sawcut fault at local injection rates of 0.2 and 0.8 mL/min and …

Understanding the mechanical and hydraulic properties of fractured rocks and their coupled
processes is of great significance for the exploration, design, construction, operation, and …

Studying the frictional process, acoustic emission (AE) characteristics and permeability
evolution of fractures under water injection is fundamental for proposing theories and …

The frictional rupture mechanisms of rock discontinuities considering the dynamic load
disturbance still remain unclear. This paper investigates the transitional behaviors of slip …

We explore the impacts of stress-and fluid-pressure-driven frictional slip on variably
roughened faults in Gonghe granite (Qinghai Province, China). Slip is on an inclined fault …

Rationale: Over-nutrition will lead to overexpression of PRMT1 but protein hypomethylation
is observed in the liver of obese subjects. The dynamic alteration of the expression and …

Fault zones often serve as the major fluid pathways in a variety of geo-energy systems, such
as deep geothermal systems. However, injection-induced instability of faults can sometimes …

Highlights Anapparatus with precise controllability and large stiffness was designed to
investigate the mechanical behavior of rock grain interface. The fracture toughness and …
