Abstract: To find an alternative way of improving bonding and restricting sliding displacement, a new technique that combines fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) surface adhesion [externally bonded FRP (EB-FRP)] with a new type of ...

Abstract: Rock-like materials generally manifest both strain-softening and pressure-dependent effects. The critical plastic strain corresponding to the residual state also increases with the confining pressure. In this case, all of ...

Abstract: Coal mining generally induces stress concentration around the goaf range, and the hard roof undergoes fracture and instability when the stress exceeds the tensile strength. It is crucial to investigate the mechanical ...
