Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Optimal mud pressure design using nonlinear failure criteria for wellbores in shaley sedimentary reservoir

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The present study uses the Modified Mohr‐Coulomb true‐triaxial failure criterion (MMC_TT), which predicts the strength of rock better than the MGC criterion in laboratory true‐triaxial tests to overcome the limitations. Moreover, based on the data from previously published five vertical wells in the Krishna‐Godavari basin (K‐G basin), an empirical ...

Study on Mine Earthquake Prediction Based on Numerical Simulation of Rock Fracture Evolution

Energy Science & Engineering
The deformation and instability of overlying strata is the root cause of roof dynamic disasters. Therefore, it is necessary to study the geomechanical behavior of overlying strata and the evolution law of three‐dimensional fracture morphology for ...

Blasting effects of cross‐fault deep‐buried excavation on adjacent existing tunnel stability

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the theoretical analysis of cylindrical wave propagation in a deep rock mass in the fault with a filling layer, the calculation method of peak particle velocity caused by wave propagation in the existing tunnel is established. The viscoelastic characteristics of a rock mass are examined in the analysis.

Failure mechanism of the coal wall at the working face based on an eccentric compression mechanical model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this study, the nonuniform distribution of the bearing pressure in front of the coal wall has been revealed based on in situ monitoring data and numerical simulation results. Therefore, an eccentric compression mechanical model of the coal wall was established to study the deformation and failure characteristics of a coal wall. The slenderness ratio
