Using a high-pressure water jet-assisted tunnel boring machine to break rock

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
The concept of tunnel boring machine (TBM) disc cutter rock breaking coupled with high-pressure water jets has been proposed to overcome the difficulties that occur when TBMs encounter extremely hard rocks.

On the puzzling feature of the silence of precursory electromagnetic emissions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It has been suggested that fracture-induced MHz-kHz electromagnetic (EM) emissions, which emerge from a few days up to a few hours before the main seismic shock occurrence permit a real-time monitoring of the damage process during the last stages of ...

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

Numerical Simulation of Rotary Impact Rock-Breaking Process of a Full-Size Drill Bit

open access: yesShiyou jixie, 2023
As the key fundamental aspect of rotary impact drilling technology, the mechanism of rock breaking has not been well demonstrated, which limits the application of this technology.To illustrate the rotary impact rock-breaking process, the numerical ...

Experimental Studies of Electrical Fields on a Breaking Rock Sample [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
When a rock sample is pressed by a force, the pressure on the crystal lattice generates an electrical field around the quart grains due to the piezoelectric effect.

Universal avalanche statistics and triggering close to failure in a mean field model of rheological fracture

open access: yes, 2018
The hypothesis of critical failure relates the presence of an ultimate stability point in the structural constitutive equation of materials to a divergence of characteristic scales in the microscopic dynamics responsible for deformation. Avalanche models

Numerical study on the rock breaking mechanism of high-pressure water jet-assisted TBM digging technique based on 2D-DEM modelling

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
In order to improve the digging efficiency of tunnel boring machine (TBM) in high-strength and highly abrasive formations, high-pressure water jet-assisted tunnel boring machine rock breaking technology has been developed and applied in steps.

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

Numerical Simulation Study on Characteristics of Tight Hard Sand Broken by Axe-shaped PDC Cutter

open access: yesShiyou jixie, 2021
The study on the specific rock breaking mechanism of axe-shaped PDC cutter in the existing literatures is relatively less, the rock breaking characteristic test data are mostly for field application data, and there is short of theoretical basis of tooth ...
