To investigate the effects of graded equal amplitude cyclic loading on rock deformation and failure, this study examines the influence of confining pressure and upper limit cyclic stress on the ...

Repeated excavation and fluctuations in water levels subject mortar to varying stress rates and moisture conditions; however, the coupling effects of these factors remain insufficiently studied. This ...

Nanoindentation is a non-destructive technique employed to the determination of the micromechanical properties of various materials. The main mechanical properties that are determined with this method ...
