Strength behaviour of a model rock intersected by non-persistent joint
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019 Several constructions in the field of civil engineering quite often need to deal with rocks. Strength behaviour of rock intersected by a discontinuity or a set of discontinuities has been a topic of keen interest for engineering community.

Complexity, 2020 The stability of grazing bifurcation is lost in three ways through the local analysis of the near-grazing dynamics using the classical concept of discontinuity mappings in the two-degree-of-freedom vibroimpact system with symmetrical constraints.

QDC-2D: A Semi-Automatic Tool for 2D Analysis of Discontinuities for Rock Mass Characterization
Remote Sensing, 2021 Quantitative characterization of discontinuities is fundamental to define the mechanical behavior of discontinuous rock masses. Several techniques for the semi-automatic and automatic extraction of discontinuities and their properties from raw or ...

Repetition, persistence and generality: problematising the endurance of medieval urbanity
World archaeology, 2023 It is proposed that an approach to difference through repetition, inspired by the writing of Gilles Deleuze, provides a conceptual approach to understand the endurance of urban life in medieval England.

Stability of Rock Pillars with Singular and Persistent Discontinuities [PDF]
American Journal of Applied Sciences, 2012 Problem statement: The strength of rock pillars in the presence of si ngle, persistent, natural discontinuities can seriously be compromise d and lead the pillar to collapse because of instability along the discontinuity itself. Approach: A specific analysis method for this kind of problem has been set up in this study to evaluate t he stability of ...

Towards Generic Simulation for Demanding Stochastic Processes
Sci, 2021 We outline and test a new methodology for genuine simulation of stochastic processes with any dependence structure and any marginal distribution. We reproduce time dependence with a generalized, time symmetric or asymmetric, moving-average scheme.
