Abstract: The stability of borehole is a major concern in petroleum and geotechnical engineering. Subsurface fossil fuel and thermal energy extraction, deep geologic carbon/energy storage, and waste disposal require sophisticated ...

Abstract: This research studied seismic source mechanisms of acoustic emission (AE) events generated during the failure of intact and jointed rock samples using a microscale mechanical-seismicity coupled microscale model. During ...

Abstract: Characterization of geomechanical parameters in naturally fractured reservoirs remains one of the most challenging tasks in civil, mining, and petroleum engineering. Extended leak-off tests (XLOTs) are generally carried ...

Abstract: Different from the conventional transfer coefficient method widely used for calculating landslide thrust, the vector sum method can incorporate the complete stress state from any numerical simulation into a limit equilibrium ...

Abstract: The vector-sum method (VSM) is advanced by considering the vector characteristics. As a cost of this advantage, a predefined global sliding direction is required, which has been a key issue for the application of the VSM. ...
