The Role of Rayleigh-Waves in Rock FragmentationBy Knasmillner
During blasting body wave interaction with geometrical surfaces induces Rayleigh-waves which propagate along free surfaces, e.g. crack faces or delaminated rock layers. These Rayleigh-waves carry mo

Multi-physical field coupling model development and parameter analysis of natural gas hydrate considering mechanical damageBy Z R. Guo, Y Qiu, X F. Wang
Mechanical damage leads to the increase of effective stress of sediments, and pore closure hinders the discharge of methane gas. Ignoring the influence of mechanical damage leads to an excessive predi
