Advances in statistical mechanics of rock masses and its engineering applications

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2021
To efficiently link the continuum mechanics for rocks with the structural statistics of rock masses, a theoretical and methodological system called the statistical mechanics of rock masses (SMRM) was developed in the past three decades.

Elements of the anthropological theory of didactics in the selection of contents in a course of fluid mechanics in engineering, a case study in Spanish universities

SN Applied Sciences, 2021
The Anthropological Theory of Didactics has been applied to the field of didactics of mathematics with remarkable success. Fluid Mechanics is a discipline with a strong mathematical background, where mathematics is used for modeling the continuous nature.

Quantum Measurement and Weak Values in Entropic Dynamics

, 2017
The problem of measurement in quantum mechanics is studied within the Entropic Dynamics framework. We discuss von Neumann and Weak measurements, wavefunction collapse, and Weak Values as examples of bayesian and entropic inference.Comment: Presented at ...

Digital rock mechanics solutions for underground engineering problems such as coal mining

Meitan kexue jishu
The observability of underground engineering, such as coal mining, is extremely limited, which makes it difficult to obtain reliable pre-analysis basis for many complex engineering problems. Especially in face of new engineering environment brought about
