We conducted laboratory direct shear tests on two parallel coplanar intermittently jointed
rock to investigate the effect of joint roughness and loading conditions on the shear behavior …

The role of surface geometry and its evolution during shearing process on the
hydromechanical behaviour of rock discontinuities has long remained an open question for …

With the widely use of hydraulic fracturing technique, large volumes of fracturing fluids are
injected into shale reservoirs. The physical and chemical reactions between fracturing fluids …

Coal rock friction generally exists in various geological movements, and it is of great
significance to effectively monitor the friction process. In this paper, the commonly used …

More than 240 experimental tests were conducted and the characteristics of real contact
area of the mated tensile fractures were investigated by using pressure-sensitive films. The …

The 3D reconstruction of rock joint surfaces is crucial for quantifying rock joints. Through the
uniform discretization of 2D and 3D rock joints, it was determined that both the climbing …

The description accuracy of the rock-joint morphology is closely related to the sampling
interval and the sampling window size. In this study, a diorite joint was taken as the research …

Monitoring and preventing coal-rock dynamic disasters are vital for safe mining. To
investigate the time–frequency features of induced charge signals with coal damage and …

Rock joints exhibit hysteresis shearing behavior and produce energy dissipation under
shear cyclic loads, which however cannot be accurately depicted by existing constitutive …

Investigating deformation behavior of fractured reservoir bank slopes during impoundment
plays an essential role in safety control of high arch dams. Because of changes in water …
