Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9085: Investigation of Mechanical Degradation and Microstructural Evolution of Red-Bed Soft Rocks Under Wetting–Drying Cycles
5+ hour, 36+ min ago (468+ words) To clarify the water-sensitive deterioration mechanisms of red-bed soft rocks under repeated wetting–drying cycles, mudstone samples from two representative sites in the Sichuan Basin were investigated through multiscale experiments combining mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8995: Numerical Modelling of One-Dimensional Wave Propagation in Deposits: Influence of the Effective Shear Strain Definition on the Equivalent Linear Method Solution
3+ day, 2+ hour ago (488+ words) Seismic site response analysis plays a fundamental role in predicting earthquake ground motions at the ground surface by accounting for soil effects on wave propagation. Although advanced nonlinear methods can accurately simulate complex soil behaviour, their use in routine engineering…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8922: Study on Modern Sedimentary Characteristics and Sand-Body Distribution Regularities of Weihe Basin
5+ day, 1+ hour ago (614+ words) Fluvial sand bodies represent one of the most significant reservoir types in hydrocarbon exploration. Restricted by climatic conditions, sedimentary environments and the properties of provenance parent rocks, sedimentary characteristics and sand-body architectures exhibit substantial spatial variations across different river systems…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8872: Integrated Lithofacies, Well-Log, and Seismic Identification and Sedimentary Evolution of Local Intraplatform Reef–Shoal Bodies in the Changxing Formation, Pengxi–Wusheng Area, Sichuan Basin
6+ day, 7+ hour ago (411+ words) Studies of Upper Permian Changxing Formation reef–shoal bodies in the Sichuan Basin have mainly focused on platform-margin belts along the Kaijiang–Liangping trough. The sequence position, diagnostic criteria, and spatial configuration of local intraplatform high-energy bodies remain insufficiently constrained....
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8845: Characterization of Geothermal Reservoir Structures Based on a Deep Generative Neural Network with Local Edge Pattern Learning
1+ week, 1+ day ago (420+ words) Accurate three-dimensional (3D) characterization of geothermal reservoirs is crucial for resource assessment and development, yet it remains a significant challenge due to sparse direct observations and the complex, heterogeneous nature of subsurface geology. While deep learning has emerged as a powerful…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8842: Numerical Imaging Characterization of Three-Dimensional Velocity Fields for Creep Damage Evolution in Surrounding Rock of Deep Roadways
1+ week, 1+ day ago (450+ words) To characterize the three-dimensional evolution of creep damage in deep roadway surrounding rock, this study establishes a COMSOL-based (Multiphysics 6.3) integrated analysis framework coupling creep damage, seismic velocity response and three-dimensional imaging. The framework adopts the Norton–Bailey creep constitutive model,…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8812: Optimised Machine Learning for MASW-Based Zonation of Weak Alluvial Soils Using Anchor-Based SPT/SCPT Calibration
1+ week, 2+ day ago (433+ words) Weak alluvial soils are difficult to delineate where penetration-test data are sparse and stiffness varies rapidly with depth. This study presents a novel goal-attainment-optimised machine learning framework that combines multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) with anchor-based standard penetration test…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8804: Experimental Study on the Evolution Mechanism of Shear-Slip Rockburst Using a Rockburst-Prone Synthetic Material
1+ week, 2+ day ago (645+ words) To investigate the mechanical response and evolutionary mechanisms of shear-slip rockburst in fractured rock masses, intact, single-fracture, and double-fracture cubic specimens were fabricated using a self-developed synthetic material designed to reproduce pronounced elastic energy storage and rapid brittle failure. Shear-slip…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8709: Study on Acoustic Emission Response and Failure Characteristics of Rock–Proppant–Rock Composite Constructions Under Uniaxial Compression
1+ week, 5+ day ago (402+ words) To reveal the bearing and instability mechanisms after filling proppants in the blasting pressure-relief fracture, four types of proppant-containing sandstone composite construction with interface inclinations of 0°, 4°, 8°, and 12° were prepared. A uniaxial compression test was conducted by combining Acoustic Emission (AE)…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8680: Analysis of Uniaxial Fatigue Mechanical Properties and Constitutive Modeling for Freeze–Thaw Cycled Red Sandstone with Double Fissures
1+ week, 6+ day ago (505+ words) This study addresses the challenge of the mechanical behavior of fractured rock masses in cold regions under freeze–thaw-fatigue coupling. Uniaxial step-incremental cyclic loading tests were conducted on double-cracked red sandstone subjected to different numbers of freeze–thaw cycles to…...
