In this paper, we study experimentally the stress relaxation behavior of soft solids such as
gelatin hydrogels on a smooth glass surface in direct shear sliding. It is observed …

In this paper, we study stability of the rate, state and temperature friction (RSTF) model. The
Segall and Rice approach is used to model heat transfer at the sliding interface with its …

In this article, we study numerically the dynamic stability of the rate, state, temperature, and
pore pressure friction (RSTPF) model at a rock interface using standard spring-mass sliding …

Landslides and other mass movements are quite prevalent phenomena in hilly areas, and
sometimes cause huge losses of both life and property [1]. To mitigate these natural …

A fundamental understanding of frictional sliding at rock surfaces is of practical importance
for nucleation and propagation of earthquakes and rock slope stability. We investigate …

In this article, we propose a mathematical model which explains the formation of strong
bonds during the relaxation process of a soft solid on a hard surface. As a result, the soft …

In this chapter, we study numerically friction-induced wellbore instability due to frictional
interaction between drill string and rock materials using torsional pendulum system. The …

Rock discontinuities play a crucial and critical role on the deformational and failure behavior
of the rock mass. In most investigations, both the surfaces of the rock joints are considered to …

abstract The main factors for the observed time dependency in tunnel construction are due
to the sequence of excavation, the number of liners and their times of installation and the …

The role of friction force is critical for understanding the mechanics and dynamics of the
variety of physical and mechanical systems. An interesting example includes stick-slip …
