Accurate and reliable predictions of rock deformations are crucial in many rock-based
projects in civil and mining engineering. In this research, a new system for the prediction of …

This paper is an attempt to find the interdependence existing between petrophysical
properties and ultrasonic wave velocities. Porosity and permeability, apart from other …

Shear logs, also known as shear velocity logs, are used for various types of seismic
analysis, such as determining the relationship between amplitude variation with offset (AVO) …

Reef limestone has a heterogeneous, anisotropic, porous structure. According to apparent
pore characteristics, shallow reef limestone can be divided into four types: weakly-cemented …

Rock mass is frequently subjected to rapid cooling in many temperature-dependent
engineering applications. In this paper, to understand the effects of water and liquid nitrogen …

In this study, a novel microwave-water cooling-assisted mechanical rock breakage method
was proposed to address the issues of severe tool wear at elevated temperatures, poor rock …

This study presents the classification and prediction of severity for brittle rock failure,
focusing on failure behaviors and excessive determination based on damage depth. The …

The statistical analysis of the main physical, mechanical and ultrasonic features of various
sedimentary rock samples (limestone, calcarenite, marly calcisiltite and sandstone) is …

InfraRed Thermography has been tested herein for the study of the fracturing condition of
intensely jointed rock masses, in order to find out what kind of information can be assessed …

The mechanical characteristics and acoustic behavior of rock masses are greatly influenced
by stochastic joints. In this study, numerical models of rock masses incorporating intermittent …
