Experimental procedure flow. by Yanxu Liang (22227024)

“…The study shows that: (1) With the increase of unloading amplitude, there is an increase in the number of nascent cracks and a tendency to expand, which is caused by shear extension cracks; with the increase of unloading amplitude, there is a tendency for the microporosity to shift to the mesoporosity, and the mesoporosity has a tendency to shift to the macroporosity, and there is a decrease in the number of micropores as a whole, which indicates that there is almost no new pore sprouting. (2) When the unloading amplitude is less than 20MPa, with the increase of the unloading amplitude, the pore ratio and expansion rate of the specimen increase slowly; when the unloading amplitude is more than 20MPa, with the increase of the unloading amplitude, the pore ratio and expansion rate of the specimen have a significant tendency to increase. (3) With the increase of unloading amplitude, the shale shear strength limit value decreases more slowly, the modulus of elasticity and shear strength also show a similar pattern of change, and the same way to derive the rock Poisson’s ratio does not change much.…”

Parallel bond model. by Yanan Sun (316649)

“…Hence, the effect of microcracking on macrocracking under freeze-thaw cycling conditions is analysed by means of a combination of acoustic emission tests and numerical simulations. The results show that the peak strength, modulus of elasticity and longitudinal wave velocity of the sandstone produced a decrease with the increasing degree of freeze-thaw erosion. …”
