Review of artificial intelligence applications in geothermal energy extraction from hot dry rock
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This paper systematically summarized the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal exploitation and discussed the limitations and opportunities. A novel intelligent HDR exploitation system was proposed to promote the development of HDR toward more efficiency, economy, and intelligence.

Creep properties and constitutive model of diabase in deep water conveyance tunnels
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The axial and lateral creep characteristics of diabase were analyzed based on compression creep tests. The nonlinear viscoelastic‐plastic model capable of describing the whole creep process was established based on the fractional derivative and damage theories.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.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 ...
