An indirect testing method for determining the tensile strength of rock-like heterogeneous
materials is proposed. The realistic failure process analysis method, which can consider …

This study proposes a novel method to determine the five elastic constants from a single-
orientation core of a transversely isotropic rock using strip loading and strain inversion. The …

In this paper, the nonlinear electromechanical bending of a bi-modular piezoelectric
laminated beam is studied based on the principle of minimum potential energy and the …

The frost heave force and the plastic zone caused by the frost heave of the surrounding rock
are the primary causes of tunnel frost damage. Current research mainly focuses on the …

According to the characteristics that the dynamic tension of rock material is elastic brittle and
the dynamic compression is elastic plastic, based on previous studies, the influence of initial …

Rock materials exhibit different elastic behaviors under tension and compression, a
phenomenon known as the bi-modulus property. However, this property has often been …

This study proposes novel methods to determine elastic constants of a transversely isotropic
rock using strain inversion from a single-orientation core. The proposed single strip load …
