• Damage Evolution of Coal with Inclusions Under Triaxial Compression 

      Zhao, YufengORCIDiD; Konietzky, Heinz; Herbst, Martin (Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2021-03-23)
      Along with the advance of the working face, coal experiences different loading stages. Laboratory tests and numerical simulations of fracture and damage evolution aim to better understand the structural stability of coal ...

      The present paper gives an overview of the GeomInt project “Geomechanical integrity of host and barrier rocks—experiment, modelling and analysis of discontinuities” which has been conducted from 2017–2020 within the framework ...
    • Simulation of direct shear tests using a forces on fracture surfaces (FFS) approach 

      Frühwirt, ThomasORCIDiD; Pötschke, Daniel; Konietzky, Heinz (Environmental Earth Sciences, 2021-04-07)
      The aim of this work is to provide a complete data set of direct shear tests and to propose a corresponding simulation approach. Tests have been conducted on crystalline rock samples applying constant normal load (CNL) and ...
