Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic and Fatigue Behaviour of Rock Materials: Review, Interpretation and Research Perspectives
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview of the literature on fatigue and cyclic loading of natural rock materials, and provide an overview of different experimental set-ups applied to cyclic/fatigue investigation of rock materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D zero-thickness coupled interface finite element: Formulation and application
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a 3D fully coupled hydro-mechanical finite element of interface, which is able to reproduce the contact/loss of contact between two solids as well as shearing/sliding of the interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fully coupled hydro-mechanical model for the modeling of coalbed methane recovery
TL;DR: In this article, a consistent hydro-mechanical model for coalbed methane (CBM) production is proposed, which is based on a dual-continuum approach to enrich the macroscale with microscale considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of a New Elastoplastic Constitutive Model Dedicated to the Cyclic Behaviour of Brittle Rock Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a constitutive law based on a boundary surface concept is developed to represent the inherently cyclic behaviour of rocks at low confinement, and validated against three different rock materials and types of experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Screw anchors have been recognized as an innovative solution to support offshore jacket structures and floating systems, due to their low-noise installation and potential enhanced uplift capacity as discussed by the authors.
