Research on the Critical Mechanical Criterion for Stick‐Slip Instability of Mining‐Affected Normal Faults Based on the Rate‐and‐State Friction Law

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3935-3947, August 2026.
Mining disturbance tends to trigger fault stick‐slip instability and induce disasters. This paper establishes a mechanical model to propose a critical criterion, which is verified to be reliable via FLAC3D, providing a theoretical basis for early warning of fault slip disasters.

Seismic Insights Into the Role of Rockfall in Rockslide Destruction Processes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The dynamic link between rockslide failure and rockfall activity remains elusive, primarily due to the challenge of detecting weak signals amidst high noise. We propose a seismic attribute guided deep learning framework that formulates rockfall detection as a time‐series segmentation task, facilitating the precise extraction of rockfall events

Rockburst prediction based on data preprocessing and hyperband‐RNN‐DNN

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 446-464, June 2026.
A data preprocessing workflow is proposed to address challenges in rockburst data analysis. Coupled algorithms preprocess the data set, and hyperband optimization is used to enhance RNN performance. Results show that preprocessing improves accuracy, while dense layers enhance model stability and prediction performance.

Failure characteristics and the energy criterion of rock with a through‐going joint under true‐triaxial unloading conditions: Insights from the DEM model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 465-481, June 2026.
The rock failure mode is significantly influenced by the contributing factors, such as the joint inclination, the initial confining pressure, and the unloading point. We found six typical rock failure modes after a large number of numerical tests. Abstract Excavation unloading damages rock masses, with preferential failure along geological defects in ...

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 506-538, June 2026.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Effect of the Initial Support of the Tunnel on the Characteristics of Rockburst: Case Study and Mechanism Analysis

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2022
Rockburst is still a stubborn disease in the field of engineering geology. The present research pays more attention to the influence of geological conditions on rockburst and less to the influence of type and stiffness of engineering support on rockburst.
