With remarkable learning capabilities and swift operational speeds, artificial intelligence (AI)
can assist researchers in swiftly extracting valuable patterns, trends, and associations from …

The instability caused by the fault slip is one of the main factors that induce the occurrence of
coal bursts. To in-depth understand the mechanisms responsible for coal bursts during the …

The mechanical behaviors of composite rock masses containing a complex interface widely
distributed in nature are significantly different from those of monolithic rock masses. The …

We present a two‐dimensional analytical solution for the static stress field around a rough
interlocked interface under background stresses and its applications to faulting. The solution …

The fact that the same fault may host different rupture or slip modes was partly attributed to
the change in strain rate of the fault in previous studies. However, contradictory observations …

Polymer grouting materials are widely used in the trenchless rehabilitation of underground
pipe networks and infrastructures. Numerous publications focused on the mechanical …

The elevated temperature, high geostress environment, and strong dynamic loading are
important factors that induce disasters in deep rock engineering work. The progressive …

Servo-controlled direct shear tests of rough (RMS= 500 μm) and smooth (RMS= 7 μm)
surfaces of Gabbro are performed under a constant normal stress of 5 MPa and a constant …

The energy budget and the interplay between stable friction evolution and dynamic stick‐
slips are tested here under continuous slip along rough faults. We conducted 34 direct …

There is potential danger of conical shear failure surface in karst cave roof under pile
foundation load. To understand the mechanical and failure characteristics of rocks under …
