To reveal fracture mechanism of gas-bearing coal subjected to complex geology
environment, the impact dynamics experiments were conducted to study energy …

Rock structural deterioration induced by coupled freeze–thaw and stress disturbance are a
great concern for jointed rock mass during rock constructions in cold regions. Previous …

To study the acoustic characteristics and failure mode of the rock failure process under a
complex stress state, acoustic emission (AE) monitoring technology was employed to collect …

As the world faces the challenges of meeting energy demand, reducing reliance on
conventional oil and gas resources, and improving global climate conditions, developing …

When salt caverns are used for the medium of underground energy storage, the surrounding
rock experiences cyclic loading due to periodical injection-production. The cyclic load …

Shear-sliding mode fracture, ie, mode II fracture, is a very common rupture mode of layered
rocks. To achieve a better understanding of the anisotropy in the real mode II fracture, which …

Acoustic emission (AE) signals contain substantial information about the internal fracture
characteristics of rocks and are useful for revealing the laws governing the release of energy …

Mud shale is an abundant unconventional source of oil and gas, with considerable potential
for extensive exploration and development. Hydraulic fracturing is a core technology for the …

The acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of rock during loading can reflect the law of crack
propagation and evolution in the rock. In order to study the fracture mode in the process of …

To investigate the impact of cyclic loading paths on the Mode I fracture characteristics of
granite, a series of fracture tests were conducted on semi-circular bend (SCB) specimens …
