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 …

Mathematical modelling of rheological fracture of rock cracks under the combined effect of
hydraulic pressure and far field stresses has not been fully studied so far. The objectives of …

The fracture behaviour and crack propagation features of coal under coupled static-dynamic
loading conditions are important when evaluating the dynamic failure of coal. In this study …

In this study, the cracked straight through Brazilian disc (CSTBD) specimen was applied to
study the I/II mixed mode static fracture of diorite. The fracture load and fracture toughness …

Hot dry rock (HDR) is a kind of clean, renewable energy and has received widespread
attention worldwide in recent years. It is significant to explore the dynamic tensile properties …

Accurately characterizing the mechanical responses and failure mechanism of
hydrostatically pressurized rocks under combined compression-shear impacting are of great …

A novel method is developed for characterizing the mechanical response and failure
mechanism of brittle rocks under dynamic compression-shear loading: an inclined cylinder …

Intermittent joints in rock mass are quite sensitive to cyclic loading conditions.
Understanding the fatigue mechanical properties of jointed rocks is beneficial for rational …

The cracked chevron notched semi-circular bending (CCNSCB) method for measuring
mode I fracture toughness of rocks has many favorable properties similar to those of the …

Based on split Hopkinson bar (SHPB) loading system and digital image correlation (DIC)
technology, a series of dynamic splitting experiments of basalt fiber reinforced concrete …
