During the past decades, significant progress has been made in the development of induced
seismicity monitoring for related human activities. Hydraulic fracturing and induced …

A review of the tensile strength of rock was conducted to determine the relationship between
direct tensile strength (DTS) and Brazilian tensile strength (BTS) and to examine the validity …

Predicting failure in solids has broad applications including earthquake prediction which
remains an unattainable goal. However, recent machine learning work shows that laboratory …

Microfractures are small, high-aspect-ratio cracks in rock that result from application of
differential stresses. Although the term has been used to refer to larger features in the …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

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 …

abstract During the deformation of rock in laboratory experiments, small cracking events, ie,
microfractures, occur which radiate elastic waves in a manner similar to earthquakes. These …

Source locations provide fundamental information on earthquakes and lay the foundation for
seismic monitoring at all scales. Seismic source location as a classical inverse problem has …

The development of faults and shear fracture systems over a broad range of temperature
and pressure and for a variety of rock types involves the growth and interaction of …

The rock failure process is associated with acoustic emission (AE). Hence, violent rock
failure processes such as rock burst under different stress paths in laboratory can be studied …
