Strength Characteristics and Failure Mechanism of Granite with Cross Cracks at Different Angles Based on DIC Method by Xu Wu, Liyuan Zhang, Jinglai Sun, Qifeng Guo, Jiliang Pan, Jun Gao

“…It is of great theoretical significance and engineering value to study the fracture mechanism of the jointed rock mass to ensure the stability of the surrounding rock and the safe and efficient utilization of the urban underground space. To investigate the effects of crossed cracks on mechanical properties and failure characteristics of rock, wire cutting equipment is employed to make rock samples with different crossed cracks, and then acoustic emission system and digital image correlation technique are used to study the fracture process of rock samples under uniaxial compression. …”

Vacuum amplitudes and time-like causal unitary in the loop-tree duality by The LTD collaboration, Selomit Ramírez-Uribe, Andrés E. Rentería-Olivo, David F. Rentería-Estrada, Jorge J. Martínez de Lejarza, Prasanna K. Dhani, Leandro Cieri, Roger J. Hernández-Pinto, German F. R. Sborlini, William J. Torres Bobadilla, Germán Rodrigo

“…Abstract We present the first proof-of-concept application to decay processes at higher perturbative orders of loop-tree duality (LTD) causal unitary, a novel methodology that exploits the causal properties of vacuum amplitudes in the LTD and is directly well-defined in the four physical dimensions of the space-time. The generation of loop- and tree-level contributions to the differential decay rates from a kernel multiloop vacuum amplitude is shown in detail, and explicit expressions are presented for selected processes that are suitable for a lightweight understanding of the method. …”
