This study discusses the results from tests performed to investigate the tensile mechanical
characteristics of granite after exposure to heating and cooling treatments. The samples …

In this study, we attempted to investigate the spatial gradient distributions of thermal shock-
induced damage to granite with respect to associated deterioration mechanisms. First …

Two different types of thermal cycling treatments (slow heating followed by slow cooling or
rapid quenching) were carried out on the granite samples in the present research. The …

To realize the effective extraction of high-temperature thermal energy in enhanced
geothermal system (EGS), it is necessary to explore how to efficiently construct fracture …

Liquid nitrogen (LN 2) fracturing is a technology that can dramatically enhance the
stimulation performances of high-temperature reservoirs, such as hot dry rock geothermal …
