Three-dimensional numerical manifold method for heat conduction problems with a simplex integral on the boundary
The three-dimensional numerical manifold method (3D-NMM), which is based on the derivation of Galerkin’s variation, is a powerful calculation tool that uses two cover systems. The 3D-NMM can be used to handle ...

Unascertained Measure-Set Pair Analysis Model of Collapse Risk Evaluation in Mountain Tunnels and Its Engineering Application
Collapse is a major geological disaster that occurs during mountain tunnel construction. However, the accuracy of collapse risk assessment is generally restricted by evaluation factors or methods. This paper p...

The BEM based on conformal Duffy-distance transformation for three-dimensional elasticity problems
Here, we describe the robust and efficient application of the conventional 3D BEM in solving elasticity problems. We have focused on the precise computation of weakly singular integrals. The conformal Duffy-di...

Experimental study on the influence of temperature cycle on low-rank coal permeability
The formation temperature is a key factor affecting coalbed methane (CBM) migration in reservoirs. Both the prediction of CBM production and prevention of mine gas disasters require the understanding on the co...

An improved three-dimensional spherical DDA model for simulating rock failure
In this paper, a discontinuous numerical model, namely SDDARF3D (three-dimensional spherical discontinuous deformation analysis for rock failure), is proposed for simulating the whole process of rock failure. Fir...
