TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effect of natural existing fractures on fluid-driven hydraulic fracture by analyzing the variation of fracture radius, cumulative crack number, and growth rate of porosity versus injection time.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural behavior of colonnade structural systems subjected to static and dynamic loading is investigated to identify the main factors affecting the stability and to improve our understanding of their behaviour.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrated physical and numerical experiments to investigate the temperature effect on the engineering behavior of pure and interbedded salt, and provided a micromechanical explanation that the attenuated compressive strength of salt under high temperature is attributed to the evolution of micro cracks.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D continuum-discrete coupled method is employed to establish a numerical-based triaxial Hopkinson bar system, and the steel bars and a cubic specimen are modelled by continuum zones and bonded-particle material, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of smooth joint parameters on the macroscopic properties and failure mechanism of jointed rock under triaxial compression test is investigated, and the numerical results reveal that the friction coefficient of smooth joints plays a dominant role in controlling mechanical behaviors.
