This paper presents a finite element implementation of a fractional rheological consolidation model in ABQUS, in which the fractional Merchant model governs the mechanical behavior of the soil skeleton, and the water flow is controlled by the fractio...
This paper introduces an innovative artificial neural networks-based analytical solver for fractional partial differential equations (fPDEs), combining neural networks (NNs) with symbolic computation. Leveraging the powerful function approximation ab...
This paper investigates a novel class of weighted fuzzy fractional Volterra–Fredholm integro-differential equations (FWFVFIDEs) subject to integral boundary conditions. The analysis is conducted within the framework of Caputo-weighted fractiona...
Microseismic monitoring has become a critical technology for hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, owing to its high temporal and spatial resolution. It plays a pivotal role in tracking fracture propagation and evaluating sti...
Fractal and fractional theories have developed over several decades and have gradually grown in popularity, with significant applications in geotechnical engineering [...]
The nanoporous structure of coal is crucial for the occurrence and development of coalbed methane (CBM). This study, leveraging the combined characterization of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Gwyddion software (v2.62), investigated six anthracite...
The dynamic process of water depletion plays a critical role in both surface coalbed methane (CBM) development and underground gas extraction, reshaping water–rock interactions and inducing complex permeability responses. Addressing the limited...
The geological structural complexity and microscale heterogeneity of shale reservoirs, characterized by the brittleness index and natural fracture density, exert a decisive effect on hydraulic fracturing’s effectiveness. However, the mechanisms...
Understanding the intrinsic relationship between microscopic structures and macroscopic mechanical properties of rock under freeze–thaw (F-T) conditions is essential for ensuring the safety and stability of geotechnical engineering in cold regi...
In the field of deep learning, the traditional Vision Transformer (ViT) model has some limitations when dealing with local details and long-range dependencies; especially in the absence of sufficient training data, it is prone to overfitting. Structu...
