Rock engineering is highly susceptible to cyclic loads resulting from earthquakes, quarrying
or rockbursts. Acquiring the fatigue properties and failure mechanism of rocks is pivotal for …

The failure mechanism of shale under cyclic loading is useful for understanding fatigue
hydraulic fracturing in reservoirs. The anisotropic characteristics of this mechanism were …

Rock mass is often encountered with complicated stress disturbance, the cyclic or fatigue
loading path with fixed loading frequency and amplitude are widely performed. To date …

Understanding the real physical and mechanical characteristics of deep rocks under in situ
geological conditions is fundamental for deep rock engineering. Rock mechanics that …

This paper intend to describe the entire creep process of a salt rock under triaxial loading,
especially the creep characteristics in the accelerated creep stage, by replacing the …

Shale gas is an important supplement to the supply of natural gas resources and plays an
important role on the world's energy stage. The efficient implementation of hydraulic …

This study performed mechanical tests and monitored acoustic emissions (AE) in shale
samples with six bedding layer orientations (β= 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 150°) to …

Shales with a laminated structure typically exhibit inherent anisotropy and strong brittleness,
resulting in complex failure patterns and fracture evolution during hydraulic fracturing. To …

To examine the effect of bedding angle upon burst proneness in terms of energy, phyllites
with seven various bedding angles are selected for conventional uniaxial compression and …

To study the anisotropic mechanical properties and energy evolution of layered rock masses
under the action of cyclic loading, uniaxial graded cyclic loading and unloading tests under …
