The occurrence of preset flaws can influence the mechanical, physical and other related
properties of rock samples. To study the failure characteristics of rock samples with 2D&3D …

This study systematically investigates the influence of hole shape on mechanical properties
and fracture characteristics of rocks containing a hole under uniaxial loading. First …

Rock masses consist of rock and fissures, and fissures in rock masses play an important role
in rock mass stability. In this paper, rock-like materials with preexisting fissures were …

Under long-term hydro-mechanical coupling, the propagation of adjacent cracks present
obvious time effect, and have significant influence on the progressive failure mode of rock …

The deformation process and failure mechanism of rock mass with increased density of
initial joints subjected to confined stress state are investigated in this study using discrete …

Subcritical crack propagation and rock creep deformation are the main factors affecting the
long-term stability and strength characteristics of rocks under hydro-mechanical coupling …
