Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rock fracture behaviors are critical to the structural integrity assessment of geotechnical engineering. Recently, experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies have been widely applied to probe the rock fracture mechanism, allowing researchers to better understand the mechanics of rock fractures and their impact on rock mass behavior.
This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality scientific contributions regarding numerical models of dynamic rock fracture processes. It will contain methodological advances and operational and applied studies, covering many disciplinary fields. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
Rock mechanics and fracture dynamics;
Explosion and blasting engineering;
Digital mine design engineering;
Identification of multiscale geostructures;
Multiscale rock fracture behaviors;
Optimization of hydraulic fracturing design in oil/gas/geothermal reservoirs.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Geosciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
