1. Heterogeneous Bonded Particle Modelling of Rock Fracture
Sammanfattning : The dynamic fracture process of rock materials is of importance for several industries, such as the rock drilling process in geothermal and mining applications. Gaining knowledge and understanding of dynamic rock fracture through numerical simulations can enhance the rock drilling process, for example by optimising the drill bit geometry and drilling parameters.

2. Novel methods for 3-D semi-automatic mapping of fracture geometry at exposed rock faces
Sammanfattning : To analyse the influence of fractures on hydraulic andmechanical behaviour of fractured rock masses, it is essentialto characterise fracture geometry at exposed rock faces. Thisthesis describes three semi-automatic methods for measuring andquantifying geometrical parameters of fractures, and aims tooffer a novel approach to the traditional mapping methods. LÄS MER
3. The Impact of Fracture Geometry on the Hydromechanical Behaviour of Crystalline Rock
Sammanfattning : Effective construction of tunnels in fractured crystalline rock requires a unified approach for handling rock mechanics and hydrogeological issues. Traditionally, rock mechanics and hydrogeology not only use different nomenclature, they also measure parameters such as e.g. aperture differently. LÄS MER
4. Hydromechanical Behaviour of Fractures Close to Tunnels in Crystalline Rock
Sammanfattning : The deformation and stiffness properties of rock fractures are important measurable parameters when describing their hydromechanical behaviour. Deformation refers to aperture change. Stiffness refers to the amount of deformation per stress change to which a fracture is subjected. LÄS MER
5. Pure shear fracture of brittle rock : a theoretical and laboratory study
Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis deals with determination of Mode II fracture toughness, KIIc, for rock. Three types of specimens, antisymmetric four-point bending, direct shearing and compression-shear specimens, are experimentally and numerically investigated. LÄS MER
