Shake table testing was performed to investigate the dynamic stability of a mid-dip bedding
rock slope under frequent earthquakes. Then, numerical modelling was established to …

Well stimulation methods such as hydraulic fracturing are often utilized in order to increase
the productivity index and permeability of the reservoir's rock. On the other hand, explosion …

The high-energy rate of shock waves, as an important part of explosion energy, plays a
significant role in the mechanism of rock fragmentation. This energy rate and the mechanism …

We used a systematic numerical method to determine deformability and strength parameters
of a fractured rock mass with irregular and stochastic fracture systems in 3D. In this case …

Rock media may be exposed to dynamic forces and time-dependent stresses. Dynamic
phenomena in rock such as blasting and earthquakes need to propagate waves and …

The explosion process of explosives in a borehole applies a very high pressure on its
surrounding rock media. This process can initiate and propagate rock fractures, and finally …

A novel coupled hydro-mechanical non-ordinary state-based peridynamics is proposed to
investigate hydro-mechanical problems in fissured porous rocks. The hydraulic bond is …

To rationalize the setting of joint parameters, model size, and initial value of vertical stress in
simulation of mining of steeply inclined coal seams, a fault tree analysis method of discrete …

In order to study the dynamic characteristics and destabilisation damage mode of the
accumulation body slope under the action of ground vibration, and to provide theoretical …

Numerous interbedded rock (IR) slopes fail during the Wenchuan earthquake in the
mountainous region of western China. Landslides are also triggered in IR slopes with a 60° …
