Abstract: A numerical study has been conducted to investigate the behavior of the vortical wake created by a square cylinder placed in a laminar boundary-layer flow. The calculations are performed by ...

Abstract: The seepage characteristics of fractured rock mass under compression and shear are one of the important factors affecting the stability of rock mass engineering. In order to understand the effect of shear action on the ...

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the optimization of cut-blasting methods for deep rock masses under high in situ stress. Several plane fluid–structure interaction (FSI) models were established, and the blasting ...

Abstract: In rock masses, there might be structural nonstationarity in the joint morphology that influences the shear behavior of rock joints. However, research into this effect is seldom reported. In this study, shear tests on ...

Abstract: The asperity morphology has profound influences on the failure characteristics and shear strength of rock joints. To investigate these influences, degradation characteristics and mechanical properties were studied based ...

Abstract: In water-rich rock masses from underground excavations, the flow pressure and confining pressure significantly affect the seepage properties of the fractured rock induced by complex stress. To understand the seepage mechanism ...
