Advancing mine pillar design: Evaluating traditional methods and integrating AI for enhanced stability of pillars in the Great Dyke, Zimbabwe

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
B1 is bord width 1, B2 is bord width 2, L is the pillar length, W is the pillar width, red color and letter A represent the pillars, and white color and number 1 represent excavated areas. Pstress is the average pillar stress; σv is the vertical component of the virgin stress, MPa; and e is the areal extraction ratio. e = B o B o + B P ${\rm{e}}=\frac{{

Shear wave splitting and seismic velocity structure in the focal area of the earthquake swarm and their relation with earthquake swarm activity in the Noto Peninsula, central Japan

Earth, Planets and Space
Seismic activity in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, central Japan, has increased since August 2020 and has continued as of August 2023. Stress changes due to subsurface sources and increases in fluid pressure have been discussed as the causes of ...

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Lowermost Mantle Flow at Thermochemical Piles Constrained by Shear Wave Anisotropy: Insights From Combined Geodynamic and Mantle Fabric Simulations at Global Scale

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Seismic anisotropy is observed in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of the mantle. This anisotropy likely signifies strong deformation, possibly caused by mantle flow interacting with the edges of Large Low‐Shear‐Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) or by the ...

Deformation-Induced Mechanical Instabilities at the Core-Mantle Boundary [PDF]

, 2007
Post-Perovskite: The Last Mantle Phase Transition Our understanding of the core-mantle boundary (CMB) region has improved significantly over the past several years due, in part, to the discovery of the post-perovskite phase.

Mantle Structure and Flow Across the Continent‐Ocean Transition of the Eastern North American Margin: Anisotropic S‐Wave Tomography

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Little has been seismically imaged through the lithosphere and mantle at rifted margins across the continent‐ocean transition. A 2014–2015 community seismic experiment deployed broadband seismic instruments across the shoreline of the eastern North ...

Near-surface seismic anisotropy in Antarctic glacial snow and ice revealed by high-frequency ambient noise

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Ambient seismic recordings taken at broad locations across Ross Ice Shelf and a dense array near West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide, Antarctica, show pervasive temporally variable resonance peaks associated with trapped seismic waves in near-surface ...

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.

Earth's Inner Core dynamics induced by the Lorentz force [PDF]

, 2015
Seismic studies indicate that the Earth's inner core has a complex structure and exhibits a strong elastic anisotropy with a cylindrical symmetry. Among the various models which have been proposed to explain this anisotropy, one class of models considers
