Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

Multi‐factor coupling effects in hydraulic fracturing of laminated shale: Experimental insights and physics‐informed neural network‐driven optimization

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study establishes a multi‐factor coupling framework for predicting breakdown pressure in laminated shale by integrating experimental hydraulic fracturing tests, physics‐informed neural networks (PINNs), and Sobol sensitivity analysis. It reveals how differential stress, the bedding dip angle, and the injection rate interact to influence fracture ...

Closed‐form stress solution and minimum safe burial depth correction for shallow‐buried large‐diameter energy storage chambers

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a closed‐form solution for stress analysis of shallow‐buried large‐diameter compressed air energy storage (CAES) chambers, explicitly incorporating free surface, lateral pressure, and gravity gradient effects. Validated against numerical simulations, the solution accurately captures stress redistribution and reveals upward migration

Reinforcement learning‐enhanced adaptive sliding mode controller for underground articulated vehicles trajectory tracking

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
RL‐SMC couples a reinforcement learning agent with a sliding mode controller, where the agent online‐modulates the sliding mode parameters according to the vehicle's tracking state. A curvature‐aware preview term is further embedded to shift control from reactive correction to proactive maneuvering, enabling the articulated vehicle to anticipate sharp ...

Nanoscale fracture mechanisms in defective α‐quartz induced by compression: Insights from molecular dynamics simulation

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Rock fracture can ultimately be traced to atomic bond breakage. Taking quartz as a representative mineral, this paper employs molecular dynamics to identify the crack initiation and propagation mechanisms for single‐hole cases, as well as crack coalescence modes between double holes under compression, providing a physical basis for multiscale modeling ...
