in this work, the mechanism for fracture of brittle substances such as rocks under a uniform normal tension is considered. the oriented straight micro-cracks are mostly created in all the polycrystalline materials resulting from the stress concentrations. the present work focuses on the interactions of the pre-existing micro-cracks, which can grow and propagate within a rock-like specimen. the ...

In this work, the interaction between the semi-circular space and the neighboring joint with and without the presence of rock bolts was investigated using the particle flow code (PFC) approach. For this purpose, firstly, the calibration of PFC was performed using both the Brazilian experimental test and the uniaxial compression test. Secondly, a numerical model with the dimension of 100 m...

The rise of wing-rock motion in delta-wing aircraft has an adverse effect on the manoeuvrability and it may result its crash. This study presents a finite-time control design to tackle dynamic due Wing-Rock aircraft. is developed based methodology Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control (STSMC). Lyapunov stability analysis been pursued ensure asymptotic convergence errors determine finite time. STS...
