Abstract: Water has a significant influence on rock mechanical and fracture behavior in geologic engineering. This study investigates the water weakening effects on mechanical properties, as well as the microscopic failure, of hard ...

Abstract: Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) has great application prospects in the fields of shock absorption, isolation, sensing, and soft robots. However, the MRE precursor mixture cannot be printed directly due to its low viscosity ...

Abstract: Rock masses in engineering applications are often simultaneously soaked in a moist environment and exposed to dynamic loads with different rates. It is therefore essential to understand the mechanical behavior and failure ...
