On the coupled geometrical-mechanical origin of the earthquake b-value in fault networks
Wenbo Pan, Zixin Zhang, Bjorn Lund +1
The Gutenberg-Richter law is a fundamental empirical law in seismology describing earthquake frequency-magnitude distributions, with one of its key parameters, the so-called b-valu…

An analytical framework to assess static versus dynamic triggering of fault-slip rockbursts
Wenbo Pan, Zixin Zhang, Qinghua Lei
Fault-slip rockbursts, triggered by seismic rupture of nearby or remote faults, constitute a significant geohazard during deep underground excavations. Although these events occur…

Modelling lined rock caverns subject to hydrogen embrittlement and cyclic pressurisation in fractured rock masses
Chenxi Zhao, Haiyang Yu, Zixin Zhang +1
The technology of lined rock cavern (LRC) with great geographical flexibility is a promising, cost-effective solution to underground hydrogen storage. However, the air-tight steel…
