Marine sediments can be stabilized by ultra high-strength binders: cement, Cement Kiln
Dust (CKD) and slag. The properties of the stabilized soil indicate potential to their reuse …

Non-classical nonlinear elasticity in micro-inhomogeneous materials such as rocks and
cracked or granular materials leads to a number of phenomena ranging from hysteresis and …

We probe mechanisms controlling the nonlinear elastodynamic response of intact and
fractured rock under both fluid-saturated and dry conditions. We present the results of …

Seismograms from~ 700 local earthquakes recorded at various depths (0, 6, 15, 22, 50, and
150 m) by sensors of the Garner Valley Downhole Array in Southern California are used to …

Transient hysteretic dynamic behaviors, commonly known as slow dynamics, have been
observed to exist in many materials, but a physical cause for the phenomena remains …

We study the propagation of a finite‐amplitude elastic pulse in a long thin bar of Berea
sandstone. In previous work, this type of experiment has been conducted to quantify …

We demonstrate that strong elastic pump wave pulses soften sandstone more in humidified
conditions than they do in dry conditions and that this effect is repeatable and reversible. We …

Numerical simulation of nonlinear elastic wave propagation in solids with cracks is
indispensable for decoding the complicated mechanisms associated with the nonlinear …

We extend the isotropic non-linear damage rheology model with a scalar damage parameter
to a more complex formulation that accounts for anisotropic damage growth under true …

The increased intensity of dynamic disasters due to overlying burden in deep mining has
become a global issue. Understanding the spatial characteristics and governing principles …
