In this paper, two-dimensional ordinary state-based peridynamic (OSB-PD) plastic model is
coupled mechanically with the Drucker-Prager (DP) criterion, aiming at numerically …

Artificial ground freezing (AGF) is a ground improvement technique for ensuring the safety of
underground construction works in water-bearing soils. High velocity water transport in …

A wide range of natural and industrial processes involve heat and mass transport in porous
media. In some important cases the transported substance may undergo phase change, eg …

A large part of the earth's surface is covered by seasonally or permanently frozen soils.
Considering the negative impact of climate change, future development of such regions can …

One possibility to utilize excess energy from electricity generation or other industrial
processes is to use thermal energy storage systems based on phase change materials …

In this study, the peridynamic Drucker‐Prager plastic model with fractional order derivative is
proposed to investigate the plastic behavior of surrounding rocks around tunnels, in which …

Particle erosion is one of the important factors in the deformation and failure of sediment in
the reservoir slopes during reservoir operation. The determination of the sensitive factors …

Compacted bentonite is considered as an engineered barrier in geological disposal of
nuclear waste in fractured rocks. One concern with this concept is that the expansion of …

Bentonite colloidal particles were potential radionuclides migration vectors. For this reason,
the generation behaviors of GMZ bentonite colloids under effects of water chemistry were …

This paper independently developed a set of experimental equipment that can
approximately simulate the service working environment of unsaturated bentonite buffer. By …
