Effects of Water Saturation and Loading Condition on Rock Tensile Strength: Insights from Acoustic Emission Analysis
The tensile strength of rocks is affected by loading conditions, specifically direct and Brazilian tension, as well as water saturation. But the fundamental reasons for the differences between direct tensile s...

Vertical time-harmonic coupling vibration of an impermeable, rigid, circular plate resting on a finite, poroelastic soil layer
Studies associated with dynamic plate–medium interactions generally assumed the plate structures to be permeable for the sake of convenience. But the effect and applicability of such an assumption are still un...
