Understanding fundamental aspects of the effects of water on both the mesostructure and
mechanical characteristics of coal and coal-water interactions is important for increasing the …

As coal mining is extended to greater depths, it is found that the mechanical behavior of deep
coal differs from the mechanical behavior of shallow coal, resulting in a significant increase …

Rock salt cavities for energy storage are important elements of energy supply management
and sustainability. The mechanical properties of other common rocks have already been …

To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the difference between deep and shallow
rocks, and the damage evolution laws of a rock mass at different depths, a case study was …

Polarized Raman Spectroscopy (PRS) is used to quantify the orientational order in the
conventional (N) and twist-bend (NTB) nematic phases of a homologous series of liquid …

We report on the design and characterization of ring-assisted (RA) few-mode fibers with
improved minimum mode effective index difference MinΔn eff . By introducing a high-index RA …

Understanding the generation process of complex fracture network is essential for optimizing
the hydraulic fracturing strategy in shale formations. In this study, laboratory fracturing was …

A novel laboratory simulation method for modeling multi-staged fracturing in a horizontal well
was established based on a true tri-axial hydraulic fracturing simulation system. Using this …

Precipitation changes over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) substantially impact the downstream
river runoff. However, future precipitation variation over the TP remains unclear. Here, we …

True tri-axial sanding fracturing experiments are carried out on conglomerate samples from
the Permian Wuerhe Formation of Mahu sag, Junggar Basin, to study hydraulic fracture …
