Abstract: This paper develops a novel empirical strength criterion and proposes a manifold method for fracture initiation and propagation. First, to investigate the influencing factors of fractured rock mass strength, a set of ...

Abstract: To investigate its fatigue damage characteristics, natural gypsum rock was tested under multiple cyclic loading conditions. According to the fatigue test, a nonlinear viscoelastoplastic fatigue model was established by ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel strategy based on field measurement, wind tunnel tests, and artificial neural network (ANN) for reconstructing the wind pressures on cladding of high-rise buildings and applies it to reconstruct ...
