The dynamic spalling characteristics of rock are important for stability analysis in rock
engineering. This paper presented an experimental investigation on the dynamic spalling …

The inclusion plays a crucial role in mastering mechanical responses and cracking
behaviors of brittle materials. In this work, a series of uniaxial compression tests were …

The degree of quality of thermoplastic injection-molded parts can be established based on
their weight, appearance, and defects. However, the conditions of the injection process may …

Stress change in rock mass caused by human activities has the potential to cause the sliding
and destruction of faults and joints, resulting in induced seismicity. Laboratory experiments …

This study examines the fracture mechanism of cracks and the final blasting effects on
defective rock masses under blasting loads. The failure processes of jointed rock with two …

The prefabricated artificial filled jointed rock specimens are impacted by a self-made drop
hammer impact device for many times, and the specimens with different degrees of …

Quantification of stress fields in complex pores is essential for understanding the failure
mechanisms of engineering geomaterials. Photoelasticity has been widely used to analyze …

The mechanical properties of rock masses are significantly affected by the deformated
behaviors of discontinuities, such as joints and faults. Rock masses in nature are also often …

The surface roughness is an important feature of rock joints. Its effect on the mechanical
properties of joints is significant in characterizing dynamic failure of natural rock masses …

Modelling the response of the filled fracture to the stress wave is of great significance for the
prediction and prevention of rock mass instability under dynamic loads. An actual stress …
