Although many mechanical responses of rock-like material subjected to dynamic loads can
be simulated by commonly-used material models, it's still hard to accurately describe the …

A rate-dependent constitutive model for saturated frozen soil is vital in frozen soil mechanics,
especially when simultaneously describing the nonlinearity, dilatancy and strain-softening …

An in-depth understanding of the response of backfilled stopes during the blast excavation
of adjacent ore stopes is crucial for the effective backfill design to improve workplace safety …

A dynamic bounding surface plasticity damage model is developed for rocks with the
consideration of high strain rates and confinements. This is achieved through adopting the …

The prediction of rate-dependent compressive strength of rocks in dynamic compression
experiments is still a notable challenge. Four machine learning models were introduced and …

The tensile-shear interactive damage (TSID) model is a novel and powerful constitutive
model for rock-like materials. This study proposes a methodology to calibrate the TSID …

The fracture of layered rocks subjected to tensile stress is involved in various subsurface
energy-related activities. Many studies have numerically investigated the fracture evolution …

Rock fragmentation by blasting is widely applied in geotechnical engineering, requiring the
