On the capillary stress tensor in wet granular materials

open access: yes, 2011
This paper presents a micromechanical study of unsaturated granular media in the pendular regime, based upon numerical experiments using the discrete element method, compared to a microstructural elastoplastic model.

Failure characteristics and the energy criterion of rock with a through‐going joint under true‐triaxial unloading conditions: Insights from the DEM model

open access: yesDeep 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 ...

Uniformly rotating, axisymmetric and triaxial quark stars in general relativity

open access: yes, 2017
Quasi-equilibrium models of uniformly rotating axisymmetric and triaxial quark stars are computed in general relativistic gravity scenario. The Isenberg-Wilson-Mathews (IWM) formulation is employed and the Compact Object CALculator (COCAL) code is ...

A review on rockburst prediction and prevention to shape an ontology‐based framework for better decision‐making for underground excavations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A scientometric analysis of 2449 journal articles and a comprehensive review of 336 papers were conducted, discussing and identifying challenges and research gaps in rockburst prediction and prevention and proposing an ontology‐based framework for better decision‐making in underground excavations. Abstract With underground engineering projects becoming

Study on the Estimation of Rock Rheological Parameters under Multi-level Loading and Unloading Conditions

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Determining reasonable rheological constitutive models based on laboratory rock creep test data and estimating rheological parameters are important means of studying rheological mechanical property of rocks. Previous rock uniaxial or triaxial compression

Repeated load triaxial tests of WickGrid™ stabilized base materials [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
In road construction, geogrids are frequently used to stabilize the base course through their lateral confinement applied to the base materials. Wicking fabrics are also used to improve road performance by installing them at the road base and subgrade ...

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 ...
