A constitutive model was developed to describe the nonlinear behaviour of intact rocks
under static loading. The model includes the pre-peak elastic and the post-peak strain …

The heading face in soft and low-permeability coal seams is one of the most high-risk areas
for Chinese coal and gas miners because of the number of outburst-related accidents. To …

In order to reveal the complex mechanical properties and mesoscopic failure behavior of
limestone rock mass containing both dissolved hole defect and persistent joint, numerical …

This study develops a coupled elastoplastic damage model for brittle rocks within the
framework of irreversible thermodynamics. In the model, degradations in the deformation …

Dynamic disturbance such as blasting may significantly affect the creep of rock.
Quantification of the influence of dynamic disturbance on the creep behavior of rock is a …

A thorough understanding of the deformation behavior, damage accumulation, and
progressive failure of heterogeneous coal is a prerequisite for effective control of the …

Time-dependent creep behavior of rocks is crucial not only for assessing geophysical
hazards, such as earthquake rupture and volcanic eruption, but also for analyzing the long …

To accurately describe the damage creep properties of marble, especially during the
acceleration creep phase, creep testing was performed on the marble in the Jinping II …

The effect of cycle duration on thermally grown oxide (TGO) growth kinetics, bond coat
rumpling kinetics, microcracking and failure life was examined by cyclic furnace tests at …

This paper presents a new poro-viscoplastic damageable model for partially saturated rocks.
The hydromechanical modelling is based on the framework of mixture theory for multiphase …
