Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This study delves into the effects of joint inclination and matrix strength on the mechanical properties of joint discs under splitting conditions, focusing on splitting strength and damage modes. Through a combination of theoretical analysis, experimental study, and numerical simulation, the research provides a comprehensive understanding of how these factors influence the behavior of jointed rock bodies. The study utilizes 3D printing technology to simulate joint planes, offering a novel approach to investigating the mechanical properties of jointed rock bodies. It also employs particle flow software PFC to analyze microscopic properties, revealing the initiation and propagation behavior of microcracks under varying conditions. The findings highlight the critical role of joint inclination, joint roughness coefficient (JRC), and matrix strength in determining the splitting strength and damage modes of jointed rock bodies, with implications for reliability assessments in excavation perimeters and dam abutments.
