The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...

Seismic vulnerability evaluation of power grids in mainland China

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
A refined vulnerability evaluation methodology for substations, transmission lines, and power grids in mainland China is proposed. A database suitable for assessing the vulnerability of power grid facilities in districts (counties) is established.

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...

Hazard assessment of seismic-collapsed loess landslides on the Loess Plateau as exemplified by the M6.2 earthquake in Jishishan County, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The Loess Plateau is marked by intense neotectonic activity and frequent earthquakes. Its unique physico-mechanical properties, combined with the granular overhead pore structure of loess, render it prone to seismic landslides triggered by strong ...

Seismic Protection of Cabinet Stored Cultural Relics with Silicone Dampers

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2018
Cultural relics are precious properties of all humankind, the damage of which is nonresilient. In previous earthquakes, stored cultural relics have shown poor seismic performance, so effective seismic methods are urgently needed.
