Thawing and Softening of Frozen Sandstone by Microwave Irradiation
The strength and hardness of rock are much higher at freezing temperatures than at room temperature. This results in high excavation costs and low...
-
A study on compressibility and permeability of tailings with different particle sizes under high pressure
Mine tailings are stored in tailings storage facilities (TSF), normally in the form of tailings dams. High-stacked tailings dams (HTD) are...

Slaking and disintegration behavior of mudstone: insights from laboratory experiment and orthogonal images
The mudstone is undergoing great change and disintegration in cyclic wetting–drying due to the weak durability, and the change is expected to cause...

An FDM–DEM coupling method for analyzing the mechanical behavior of a slope reinforced by piles
The failure of piles often starts from localized damage caused by stress concentration. However, little is known about such progressive process of...

Classifying agency in bone breakage: an experimental analysis of fracture planes to differentiate between hominin and carnivore dynamic and static loading using machine learning (ML) algorithms
The analysis of bone breakage has always been underrepresented in taphonomic studies. Analysts, thus, lose the opportunity to resolve an important...

Rock Fracture Pattern Kerfed by HPWJ and its Influence on TBM Cutter Indentation in Granite
The advance rate of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) excavating in high-strength rock masses is limited. Creating kerfs on the working face using pure...
-
Experimental and Numerical Investigations on Rock Breaking of TBM Disc Cutter Based on a Novel Platform with Rotational Cutting
Understanding the force state of disc cutters in advance is of great practical significance to predict the dynamic response during mechanical...
