Rockburst is becoming a huge challenge for the utilization of deep underground space.
Extensive efforts have been devoted to investigating the rockburst behavior and mechanism …

A new rockburst classification, innovative works in developing a “strainburst test machine”
and an “impact-induced rockburst test machine” that can reproduce rockbursts in laboratory …

Rockburst seriously threatened construction safety of deep traffic tunnel in high geostress
condition. In recent years, a large number of deep traffic tunnels have been constructed in …

Many factors that influence rockburst damage have been identified but the mechanism that
drives rockburst is not fully understood. Weak planes such as faults and shears have been …

The loading system stiffness (LSS) of a rock mechanics testing machine is important in
laboratory testing because it dictates whether the coal or rock failure process is stable or …

Acoustic emission (AE) location technique and moment tensor analysis were used to
evaluate the temporal–spatial evolution and damage of micro-cracks of schist during true …

A super stiff rock mechanics testing machine called Stiffman is introduced in this paper. This
test facility uses composite loading frames and relay loading by two loading hydraulic …

Dynamic rock failure at the walls of an opening, so-called rock burst or strain burst is one of
the major types of rock failure capable of causing human and financial loss. Initially the rock …

Failure characteristics of rocks under polyaxial compression have been the subject of
extensive laboratory testing, although a limited amount of literature is published on the …

The failure modes and peak unloading strength of a typical hard rock, Miluo granite, with
particular attention to the sample height-to-width ratio (between 2 and 0.5), and the …
