The influence of normal stress and sliding velocity on the frictional behaviour of calcite at room temperature. Insights from laboratory experiments and microstructural observations [PDF]
The presence of calcite in and near faults, as the dominant material, cement, or vein fill, indicates that the mechanical behaviour of carbonate-dominated material likely plays an important role in shallow- and mid-crustal faulting. To better understand

Two cases of post-limit deformation of rock mass surrounding underground opening
Abstract The authors analyze stress state of rock mass around an underground opening in two cases of post-limit plane-strain deformation: when the modulus of compression is much higher than the modulus of post-limit deformation and when the modulus of post-limit deformation is much higher than the modulus of compression.

Controlling the large deformation caused by bed separation failure of thick and soft surrounding rock in gob-side entry retaining is difficult. The deformation and failure modes of thick and soft surrounding rock are summarized and classified based on ...

Earthquakes: from chemical alteration to mechanical rupture
In the standard rebound theory of earthquakes, elastic deformation energy is progressively stored in the crust until a threshold is reached at which it is suddenly released in an earthquake.

U-Pn geochronology of deformed metagranites in central Sutherland, Scotland: evidence for widespread late Silurian metamorphism and ductile deformation of the Moine Supergroup during the Caledonian orogeny [PDF]
Within the Caledonides of central Sutherland, Scotland, the Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Moine Supergroup record NW-directed D2 ductile thrusting and nappe assembly, accompanied by widespread tight-to-isoclinal folding and amphibolite ...

Field investigations of high stress soft surrounding rocks and deformation control
AbstractField investigations of high stress soft rock deformations show that the high stress soft rock roadway can slide with large deformation. Severe extrusion and floor heave can also be subsequently observed. The supported roadway can be locally damaged or completely fail, where the floor has a large deformation and/or is seriously damaged.

Current challenges for preseismic electromagnetic emissions: shedding light from micro-scale plastic flow, granular packings, phase transitions and self-affinity notion of fracture process [PDF]
Are there credible electromagnetic (EM) EQ precursors? This a question debated in the scientific community and there may be legitimate reasons for the critical views.

Time-dependent deformation analysis of the surrounding rock mass around a tunnel
Abstract A numerical time-dependent model is established by incorporating the stress corrosion model into the three-dimensional discrete element grain-based model (3DEC-GBM) to analyze the fracture evolution and instability mechanism of the surrounding rock mass around a circular tunnel.
