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

Deep 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 ...

A rock brittleness index based on the postpeak energy release rate and damage surface characteristics for brittle hard rock

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.

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

Deep 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.

Interactions Between O‐Phospho‐L‐Serine and Trivalent Metal Ions: Studies in Solution and Solid State

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The interaction between the phosphorylated amino acid O‐phospho‐L‐serine and trivalent ions of f‐elements such as La3+, Eu3+, and Lu3+, supplemented by Y3+, has been studied in aqueous media. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in solution and in the solid state examined complex formation from the ligand perspective, while time‐resolved laser‐

Phosphate and fluoride removal options for Hanford high‐level waste sludge processing

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐phosphate and high‐fluoride sludges represent some of the most challenging waste streams within the Hanford High‐Level Waste (HLW) inventory due to solubility constraints, impacts on glass loading, and corrosion risks during vitrification.

Epilepsy surgery: From bench to the clinics

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent advances in epilepsy surgery in patients with intractable epilepsy make it possible to study the mechanism of epilepsy in human brains. However, the true extent and propagation of each epileptogenic area from the epileptogenic focus in each patient is still difficult to perform “epilepsy cure” by surgery.

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...
