International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

Analysis on the Time-Varying Fragility of Offshore Concrete Bridge
Complexity, 2019 For offshore bridges, the most prominent problem in the whole life cycle is that it is in an earthquake prone zone and an offshore corrosion environment at the same time.

Structural health monitoring of high voltage electrical switch ceramic insulators in seismic areas [PDF]
, 2014 High voltage electrical switches are crucial components to restart rapidly the electrical network right after an earthquake. But there currently exists no automatic procedure to check if these ceramic insulators have suffered after an earthquake, and ...

Numerical Modeling of Geological Fault Reactivation Using Sequential Coupling Strategies
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The interaction between fluid flow and mechanical deformation in fault zones can lead to processes of fault reactivation, triggering potential geomechanical problems such as seismicity, well collapse, fluid migration to shallower layers, and aggravated surface subsidence.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

River, EarlyView.Abstract Nepal's vast hydropower potential is central to its long‐term economic development; however, it exhibits pronounced spatial heterogeneity and is increasingly vulnerable to climate‐induced risks. This study employs an integrated, Basin‐scale analytical framework to evaluate the hydrological productivity and economic viability of major river ...
