Geotechnical and Geomechanical Engineering
Geotechnical and Geomechanical Engineering is a research topic within Mechanics of Materials. Science Explorer counts 32k research works in it since 1950. 10.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the study of wave propagation, rock mechanics, and geomechanical processes in block media. It includes research on seismicity induced by mining activities, modeling of elastic wave propagation, analysis of pendulum waves in stressed geomedia, and the performance of drilling equipment in rock stiffness. The cluster also covers topics such as hydraulic drilling, geomechanical assessment, and the influence of nonmetallic inclusions on percussive machine endurance.
