With the rapid development of nuclear power in China, the disposal of high-level radioactive
waste (HLW) has become an important issue for nuclear safety and environmental …

It is extremely difficult to accurately predict the rock damage evolution during the
underground space development or the deep excavation activity. In this paper, based on the …

Rock fracture is the root cause of collapses of the overburden and mine water inrush.
Monitoring and identifying the precursor information of the mine surrounding rock during the …

A phase-field implicit material point method with the convected particle domain interpolation
(PF-ICPDI) is proposed to model the brittle–ductile failure transition in pressure-sensitive …

The mechanical behavior of host rock for a deep geological repository of high-level
radioactive waste plays a key role in ensuring the isolation function of host rock as a natural …

In this paper, we shall present a new micromechanical damage model for capturing the
mechanical behaviors of quasi-brittle geomaterials under a wide range of compressive …

The study of the influence of temperature on granite's physical and mechanical properties is
significant to deep geotechnical engineering such as nuclear waste disposal engineering …

The identification of crack stress thresholds and damage evolution from circumferential
strain control triaxial tests are presented in this paper. As underground excavations become …

In this paper, a new micro-mechanics based plastic damage model is proposed for quasi-
brittle materials under a large range of compressive stress. The damage is due to initiation …

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