Journal ArticleDOI
Strategic framework to achieve carbon-efficient construction and maintenance of railway infrastructure systems
TL;DR: Sakdirat Kaewunruen*, Joseph M. Sussman and Herbert H. Einstein this article proposed a high speed rail research group at the University of Birmingham, UK.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory hydraulic fracturing of granite: Acoustic emission observations and interpretation
TL;DR: In this paper, acoustic emissions data from a series of laboratory hydraulic fracturing experiments on granite were used to understand the effect of external stress conditions on the hydraulic fracturing process and to predict crack initiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Visual and Acoustic Emission Observations in a Four Point Bending Experiment on Barre Granite
Bing Q. Li,Herbert H. Einstein +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pre-notched Barre Granite was subjected to four point bending under crack mouth opening displacement control, and the experimental observations consisted of load-displacement measurements, acoustic emissions, and photography on a macroscopic (~cm) as well as microscopic (~μm) scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cracking processes affected by bedding planes in Opalinus shale with flaw pairs
TL;DR: In this article, a series of unconfined compression tests were conducted on prismatic specimens with two pre-existing flaws and various bedding plane orientations, and the effects of the flaw angle and flaw pair bridging angle on the cracking processes were similar to those observed in previously tested rocks without bedding planes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of crack initiation, propagation and coalescence in rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative study using the Finite Element code, ABAQUS, was conducted to analyze stress-, strain- and energy-based criteria used for modeling crack development.
