A new 3D numerical mesoscale model is proposed to describe the time-independent
deformation and fracturing of brittle rocks that accounts for material heterogeneity and local …

Although the virtual inertia algorithm can be used to enhance the inertia of microgrid system,
the strong coupling and low precision always limit its popularization and application. …

An understanding of progressive time-dependent deformation is essential for determining
appropriate measures to ensure the long-term integrity of rock-masses surrounding …

A numerical hydro-mechanical model for brittle creep is proposed to describe the time-dependent
deformation of heterogeneous brittle rock under constant confining and pore pressures…

A sound understanding of the influence of cyclic loading on mechanical properties of rock is
of great importance for the management and optimization of engineering rock mass …

The traditional large-diameter hole pressure relief technology has the disadvantages of
insufficient pressure relief in deep surrounding rock and damage to shallow surrounding rock. …

An improved grain-based numerical manifold method (NMM) is developed to investigate
deformation and damage of intact rocks at the meso‑scale. The grain boundaries are …

Abstract Knowledge of the strength and elastic modulus of a reservoir rock is important for
the optimisation of a particular geothermal resource. The reservoir rock for many geothermal …

A grout curtain's stability and water-plugging effect are directly related to the safe production
of water-rich mines. The progressive damage to the surrounding rocks of the grout curtain …

High‐resolution visualization of latent fingerprints is key to effectively assessing crime
scenes. Unconventional luminophores provide promising application potentials due to facile …
