Acoustic Emission Characteristics During Rock Fragmentation Processes Induced by Disc Cutter under Different Water Content Conditions

Rock Stability under Different Fluid Flow Conditions

Numerical Analysis of Dynamic Response Mechanism of Rock by TBM Disc Cutter

The dynamic response mechanism of the rock fragmentation and its influential factors by TBM disc cutter are studied in this paper. Firstly, a dynamic response model is established based on the fracture mechanics and finite element theory. Secondly, a fragmentation rule is founded according to the dynamic response model, and then numerical simulations for dynamic response of rock are carried out...

Self-Healing Characteristics of Damaged Rock Salt under Different Healing Conditions

Salt deposits are commonly regarded as ideal hosts for geologic energy reservoirs. Underground cavern construction-induced damage in salt is reduced by self-healing. Thus, studying the influencing factors on such healing processes is important. This research uses ultrasonic technology to monitor the longitudinal wave velocity variations of stress-damaged rock salts during self-recovery experime...

The effect of surface rock fragments deployment pattern on soil erosion processes under simulated conditions

Extended abstract 1- Introduction The Soil surface characteristics have significant effects on the erosion process. The wide areas of watershed soil surfaces are covered with considerable amounts of rocks and pebbles. Surface rock fragments, resulting in water connectivity, change during the erosion process. Rock fragments on the soil surface may increase the infiltration and reduce soil loss...
