Permeability of granite from a shallow buried mountain pipe gallery tunnel under unloading confining pressure

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Triaxial compression tests under unloading confining pressure conditions were conducted to systematically analyze the permeability behavior of granite retrieved from the different classification surrounding rocks. Abstract The rock mass within mountain tunnels undergoes complex changes in permeability, strength, and deformation during tunneling ...

Applying Schwarzschild's orbit superposition method to barred or non-barred disc galaxies

open access: yes, 2015
We present an implementation of the Schwarzschild orbit superposition method which can be used for constructing self-consistent equilibrium models of barred or non-barred disc galaxies, or of elliptical galaxies with figure rotation.

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...

Effect of true triaxial principal stress unloading rate on strain energy density of sandstone

open access: yesScientific Reports
Deep rock are often in a true triaxial stress state. Studying the impacts of varying unloading speeds on their strain energy (SE) density is highly significant for predicting rock stability.

Effect of Perforation Methods on Fracture Propagation in Gelatin‐Based Matrices

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The development of unconventional hydrocarbon resources has positioned hydraulic fracturing as a pivotal technology in shale oil extraction, where understanding fracture propagation mechanisms is critical for reservoir stimulation optimization. This study employs gelatin‐based visualized experiments to systematically investigate the effects of
