This study conducted uniaxial compression acoustic emission (AE) tests on four typical rocks
with different lithologies, including coal, limestone, gypsum, and shale. In addition to …

A meter-scale model test with microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is an efficient
method to validate this sustainable soil reinforcement technique. Mechanical and physical …

Biotreatment is an emerging reinforcement technology. Avalanche dynamics has recently
been used to analyze the fracture behavior of biotreated specimens under unconfined …

High-frequency acoustic waves produced by the sudden release of energy within a material
caused by mechanical loading, deformation, corrosion, or other forms of damage are …

Kidney stones have a prevalence rate of> 10% in some countries. There has been a
significant increase in surgery to treat kidney stones over the last 10 years, and it is crucial …

Systematic advances in the resolution and analytical interpretation of acoustic emission (AE)
spectroscopy have, over the last decade, allowed for extensions into novel fields. The same …

In a two-phase solid, we examine the growth of a preexisting macroscopic crack based on
simulations of a random spring network model. We find that the enhancement in toughness …

Ferroic domain dynamics, as a function of external stimuli, can be collectively described as
scale-invariant avalanches characterised by a critical exponent that are sensitive to the …

Bio-stimulation is a popular method to improve the engineering properties of soils because it
treats the soils by using native bacteria which is environmentally friendly. However, the …

To further understand the anisotropic behavior of layered rock and the precursor
characteristics of rock mass instability, a series of uniaxial compression experiments using a …
