Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

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

open access: yesDeep 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.

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Environmental heterogeneity and spatial variation mediates plant diversity and ecosystem stability in mountain ecosystems of the Mediterranean Andes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Globally, mountains are highly diverse ecosystems that serve as natural laboratories for testing ecological theories, while providing vital ecosystem services. Their biodiversity arises from the interaction between elevational gradients and topographic complexity, which generate strong variation in environmental conditions across short spatial scales ...

Mechanistic Origins of Structural Failure in Deeply‐Lithiated LixMoS2

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Global optimization and ab initio molecular dynamics reveal how Li drives the 2H to 1T′ phase transformation in MoS2 and where the layered framework begins to fracture. Controlled pre‐lithiation stabilizes 1T′ and significantly delays the onset of structural failure, while opening out‐of‐plane Li pathways, offering design rules for robust, high‐rate ...

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...
