Time-Dependent Mechanical Response of Ice Adhesion on Aluminum Substrates.

Ice adhesion on aerospace-relevant materials is both complex and not well understood. Measuring such adhesion and understanding the underlying physics involved require reliable testing techniques that can yield multifaceted data sets. The latter includes the surface morphology, that is, roughness, and its spatial correlation structure, resolving substrate-induced strain, and direct mechanical testing of adhesion. As part of a continuing investigation of ice adhesion on a relevant surface, we performed time-dependent stress ramps on aluminum surfaces. The temperature range explored, from -20 to -7 °C, allowed spontaneous icing and ice morphologies, namely, below or above -15 °C. Additionally, we characterized the spatial correlation surface roughness maps of the specimens. Our novel test protocol yields reproducible and high-precision results when compared with alternative methods reported throughout the literature. The stress-ramp test data using the proposed protocol show that the apparent average critical stress (proportional to the adhesion strength) depends on both stress-ramp rate and temperature. More specifically, the adhesion strength is higher for higher stress rates and increases with decreasing temperature. The stress-ramp test yields the full span of the time-dependent adhesive behavior of ice and particularly the upper bound. Additional stress-concentration analysis is needed to correct for this effect and thereby yield the critical stress rather than the average value produced by our procedure. The results in this work should aid to improve our understanding of ice adhesion mechanisms.

The effect of structure-property relationships on the formability of pigmented polyester coatings

Pre-painted metal sheet (PPM) is used in applications from domestic appliances to architectural cladding. The coating provides excellent aesthetics and corrosion protection, but must possess excellent formability to not fail due to the large strains applied during the folding and hemming processes used to produce components. Therefore it is important to understand how the coating formulation affects the free-film properties and formability of a coating system. Polyester coatings crosslinked with hexa(methoxymethyl)melamine (HMMM) with a Tg of ∼40 °C were used, pigmented with TiO2. The glass transition temperature was increased by increasing the crosslinker content (from 5% to 30%), decreasing the adipic acid content (from 24% to 12%) and decreasing the molecular weight (from Mn = 3300 g/mol to Mn = 1500 g/mol). The chemical structure of the resin had little effect on the formability of the coatings when the test temperature was normalised with respect to Tg. The formability measured using the Erichsen cupping and T-bend tests is related to the tensile properties of the free-films. The damage induced by the T-bend is greater than that by the Erichsen cupping test due to the higher applied deformation rates in T-bend tests. Increasing the apparent yield and fracture stress increases the likelihood of damage at lower deformation levels, whilst increasing the strain to failure decreases the likelihood of damage in both the T-bend and Erichsen cupping tests. The strength of these correlations reduces with an increase in T-bend level as the magnitudes of the strains applied are reduced. This work takes a holistic approach to correlate structure and tensile properties with formability in both the Erichsen cupping test and T-bend test for the first time, enabling industry to improve coating performance significantly but cost-effectively.

Reliability Assessment of the Hydraulic Fracturing Process in Coal Mine Based on the Analysis of Micro-Seismic Source Parameters

In a reliability assessment of hydraulic fracturing, the efficacy of hydraulic fracturing must be evaluated, and the source properties and magnitude of micro-earthquakes induced by hydraulic fracturing in a coal mine need to be quantified. Firstly, the changing trends of the number and energy of micro-seismic events induced by hydraulic fracturing with high-pressure water were examined, and the hydraulic fracturing effect was evaluated by micro-seismic location. Then, the source parameters (seismic moment M0, source radius R, corner frequency f0, radiated seismic energy E, stress drop △σ, and apparent stress σa) were calculated using the Brune model and the grid-search method, and the relationships between M0 and other source parameters were analyzed. Finally, the source parameters between micro-earthquakes induced by hydraulic fracturing and those induced by mining were compared, and the relationship between Mw (moment magnitude) and ML (local magnitude) of a micro-earthquake induced by hydraulic fracturing was ascertained. The results show that most micro-earthquakes occur in the initial stage of water pressure increase during hydraulic fracturing. In addition, the occurrence of several micro-earthquakes does not correspond strictly to the significant decrease of water pressure; the locations of micro-earthquakes can be used to evaluate the effect of hydraulic fracturing. The source parameters of micro-earthquakes induced by hydraulic fracturing in the Xieqiao coal mine can be obtained from the Brune model and the grid-search method. Corner frequency f0 decreases with increase in seismic moment M0, source parameters of R and E, as well as △σ increase with increase in seismic moment M0, but the apparent stress σa fluctuates around a certain value; the relationships between the other source parameters and M0 of micro-earthquake induced by hydraulic fracturing are consistent with that of a micro-earthquake induced by coal mining. Considering Mw, ML1 can be better used to calculate the magnitude of micro-earthquakes induced by hydraulic fracturing. Through Mw and ML1, the magnitude of a micro-earthquake induced by hydraulic fracturing can be evaluated. Our results improve the evaluation of the hydraulic fracturing effect, the understanding of source properties, and evaluation of the magnitude of micro-earthquakes induced by hydraulic fracturing. It is found that these micro-earthquakes are within the safe controllable range, and the hydraulic fracturing process of the Xieqiao coal mine is reliable and safe.

Mann-Kendall Mutation Analysis of Temporal Variation of Apparent Stress in Qinba Mountains and Its Adjacent Areas

In this abstract, we use the Mann-Kendall Mutation analysis to determine the source parameters of 125 earthquakes in the Qinba Mountains and its neighboring areas between 1997 and 2013. Seismic moments, apparent stress, and seismic radiant energy of the earthquakes were calculated. The Mann-Kendall mutation test was used to analyze the temporal data of the apparent stress. The results indicate that there occurred three downward mutation points in apparent stress in June 1998, October 1998 and March 1999, and then only one earthquake, Wudu 4.5earthquake with magnitude greater than 4 occurred in this area till September 2001. The average apparent stress decreases from 0.16 MPa from July 1997 to March 1999 to 0.15 MPa from April 1999 to September 2001. After the rising mutation point in apparent stress in October 2001, the average apparent stress increases from 0.15 MPa from April 1999 to September 2001 to 0.18 MPa from October 2001 to December 2013. A series of moderate to strong earthquakes with ML4.9, ML6.0, ML5.9, and ML5.2 then occurred in April 2003, May 2008, July 2008 and September 2009. The results demonstrate that the Mann-Kendall mutation analysis can fairly reflect the trend of apparent seismic stress, which is helpful for seismic activity prediction.

Experimental Study of Smooth Asymmetric Compound Channels Flow: An Investigation of the Interaction of Flow Using Scaling Argument for Prediction of Overall Discharge

A simple model for the apparent shear stress on the vertical interface between the floodplain and main channel in asymmetric smooth compound channels is proposed using experimental data obtained in this study. The turbulent structure, including Reynolds shear stress in asymmetric compound channel flows, is investigated for three different flow depths. The lateral distribution of the apparent shear stress obtained shows that the total apparent shear stress has a negative peak near the junction edge in the main channel. Furthermore, the intensity of the advection terms and the Reynold shear stress near the interface are investigated as the function of the bankfull height and floodplain width. The momentum transport due to Reynolds stress and secondary current between main channel and floodplain is finally modeled as depth ratio using scaling argument. The validation of the current model on three datasets shows an accurate prediction of overall discharge for the asymmetric smooth compound channels.

Effect of microplastics in sludge impacts on the vermicomposting

To investigate the effect of microplastics (MPs) particles in vermicomposting, polyethylene (PE) particles added into sludge. Results showed that the vermicomposting with high MPs addition obtained lower removal efficiencies for organics than the vermicomposting with low MPs addition. The content of DOC and NH4+-N in M4 reactor (with the highest MPs addition) at 80 days was 8.4 mg/kg and 74.2 mg/kg, respectively. The pH, C/N, electrical conductivity (EC), and germination index (GI) results showed that the addition amount of MPs was directly proportional to the negative effect of composting. The negative effect mainly occurred after 20 days of composting. High MPs addition resulted in apparent oxidative stress and neurotoxicity on earthworm, the values of catalase (CAT) and acetylcholine esterase (AChE) in M4 reactor increased by 2.03 times and 1.60 times. The bacteria in M4 were more barren and lower in terms of diversity.

IASCC of neutron irradiated 316 stainless steel to 125 dpa

The irradiated microstructure and irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) susceptibility were determined for neutron-irradiated cold-worked (CW) 316 stainless steel tested in 320 °C simulated PWR primary water with various damage levels of 46.9, 67.4, and 125.4 dpa. The size and density of dislocation loops and precipitates were found to vary little over the dose range 46.9–125.4 dpa and dislocation loops were found to control the irradiation hardening. The %IG in constant extension rate tensile (CERT) tests and the stress to initiate a crack in four-point bend tests were consistent in establishing that the IASCC susceptibility was essentially unchanged across the dpa range. GB oxidization was observed prior to crack initiation, and localized deformation and triple junctions where local stresses were high were preferred crack initiation sites. IASCC cracks initiated preferentially on grain boundaries oriented nearly normal to the applied stress. An apparent threshold stress threshold for IASCC was determined to be ~45% of the irradiated yield strength for neutron-irradiated CW 316 SS between 46.9 and 125.4 dpa.

Flow-based pultrusion of continuous fibers for cement-based composite material and additive manufacturing: rheological and technological requirements

The vast majority of applications of extrusion-based concrete additive manufacturing deal with unreinforced mortar. The lack of reinforcement is a serious limitation for the industrial development of 3d printed concrete, because of the brittleness and lack of tensile strength of unreinforced mortar. In this paper, a new reinforcement method inspired by pultruded composite manufacturing, called flow-based pultrusion (FBP), is described and used. The principle is that continuous fiber rovings are impregnated and pulled by the matrix flow, avoiding motorisation, and increasing the apparent yield stress of the mortar and consequently its usability. The hardened resulting material, called anisotropic concrete, is unidirectionally and homogenously reinforced. For such composite material, the reinforcement ratio is an important material parameter that relates to specific process variables: roving type, roving count, and output diameter. This article further investigates the effect of the percentage of reinforcement on the process. It also highlights technical requirements to provide the first specifications for flow-based pultrusion.

The flow behavior of raw Jojoba oil in comparison with some traditional lube oils

To evaluate the possibility of utilizing the raw Jojoba oils for lubricating purposes in internal combustion engines, the flow behavior of raw Jojoba oil was investigated experimentally. Three customary lube oils of Diesel-, Petrol-, and Motorcycle-engines were employed in comparison with the raw Jojoba oil. Rheometer type of Fann Model of 50SL with coaxial cylinders device was used for this investigation. This investigation reveals that the shear stress of the raw Jojoba oil increases gradually with shear rate in the range of 10–500 s−1 in a linear relationship. At constant shear rate, the shear stresses of the raw Jojoba oil decrease steadily with temperature range of 30−90 C°. The well-known Herschel-Bulkley model can be used to describe sufficiently the flow behavior of the raw Jojoba oil measurement data. The raw Jojoba oil shows flow behavior index equals almost one with slight apparent yield stress. The apparent flow viscosity of the raw Jojoba oil can be analyzed by Arrhenius relationship to show the effect of the applied temperature. At higher operating temperature of 90 °C the raw Jojoba oil exhibits better performance and show higher viscosity values than all the examined lube oils within the range of 10–100 s−1 with viscosity index of 233 which is much higher than the commercial examined oils (range 130–140).

Variations in Apparent Stress and b Value Preceding the 2010 Mw8.8 Bio-B\xedo, Chile Earthquake

We calculated apparent stresses for 70 earthquakes (MW ≥ 5.0) occurring in the aftershock region of the 2010 MW8.8 Bio-Bío earthquake from January 1990 to September 2019. We identified that the average apparent stress was approximately 0.487 MPa between January 1990 and December 2005 and approximately 1.063 MPa within the period from January 2006 to January 2010. The latter one is 2.2-fold greater than the former, representing a significant difference as determined by a z test, with a 99% confidence level. Moreover, we analyzed the temporal evolution of the apparent stress and found that apparent stress rapidly increased from 0.43 to 1.2 MPa during the pre-event period from March 2006 to the occurrence of the Bio-Bío MW8.8 mainshock, and this increased apparent stress was found to be significant at the 98% confidence level. Furthermore, we calculated the spatial distribution of the apparent stress in the study region and observed two higher-apparent-stress regions, within one of which the epicenter of the MW8.8 event was located. On the basis of the inverse correlation between b value and stress, the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of b values were calculated and compared with those of the apparent stress. The comparison showed that the b values decreased approximately 4 years before the occurrence of the mainshock, while the apparent stress increased substantially; for the region of lower b, the apparent stress is higher, and vice versa. Therefore, the inverse correlation between b value and stress is supported by the results obtained in the present study and can be probably considered as one of the precursors to great earthquakes.

Ispitivanje reološkog ponašanja i njegov značaj za procenu aplikativnih svojstava i fizičke stabilnosti hidrogelova sa fitosomima

Phytosomes are amphiphilic molecular complexes of substances of plant origin and phospholipids that are considered as active ingredients of dermopharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations of potentially improved efficiency. The study aim was the formulation of carbomer hydrogels with commercially available phytosomes of escin (Escin ß-Sitosterol Phytosome®) (EP) and 18-ß glycyrrhetinic acid (18-ß Glycyrrhetinic Acid Phytosome®) (GP) and evaluation of their application properties and real-time physical stability. Phytosomes incorporation did not significantly affect pH of the hydrogels, which was acceptable for cutaneous application. However, these hydrogels had significantly different organoleptic properties (opaque and softer consistency) compared to the hydrogel without active substance (C) and the hydrogels with pure active substances (E and G) used for comparison. The values of maximum and minimum apparent viscosity and yield stress were significantly lower in phytosome-loaded hydrogels. The results of oscillatory rheological analysis indicated that viscous character prevails in EP and GP hydrogels (elastic modulus (G')˂viscous modulus (G")), while in hydrogels C, E and G elastic properties were more pronounced (G'˃G"). Escin phytosome had greater influence on carbomer gel network strength. Phytosome-loaded hydrogels were physically stable during 24 months of storage under ambient conditions, although the rheological analysis also indicated a potential risk of sedimentation.

Numerical Simulation of the Shear Behaviour of Cement Grout

Cement grout is widely used in civil engineering and mining engineering. The shear behaviour of the cement grout plays an important role in determining the stability of the systems. To better understand the shear behaviour of the cement grout, numerical direct shear tests were conducted. Cylindrical cement grout samples with two different strengths were created and simulated. The numerical results were compared and validated with experimental results. It was found that, in the direct shear process, although the applied normal stress was constant, the normal stress on the contacted shear failure plane was variable. Before the shear strength point, the normal stress increased slightly. Then, it decreased gradually. Moreover, there was a nonuniform distribution of the normal stress on the contacted shear failure plane. This nonuniform distribution was more apparent when the shear displacement reached the shear strength point. Additionally, there was a shear stress distribution on the contacted shear failure plane. However, at the beginning of the direct shear test, the relative difference of the shear stresses was quite small. In this stage, the shear stress distribution can be assumed uniform on the contacted shear failure plane. However, once the shear displacement increased to around the shear strength point, the relative difference of the shear stresses was obvious. In this stage, there was an apparent nonuniform shear stress distribution on the contacted shear failure plane.

Thiol disulfide homeostasis in ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic drug exposure.

This study aims to reveal the oxidant and antioxidant status in nurses with chemotheropathic drug exposure and radiology unit workers exposed to ionizing radiation (IR). Nineteen radiology unit workers, 14 nurses, and 15 controls were included the study. All of the participants using antioxidants, vitamin supplements, smokers, any therapeutic drugs, and exposed therapeutic or diagnostic X-ray or chemotherapeutic drugs in 12 months were excluded from the study. Total and native thiols, disulfide/native thiol percent ratios (SS/SH), disulfide/total thiol percent ratios, disulfide amounts, and native thiol/total thiol percent ratios, ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) were determined. Disulfide levels, disulfide/total thiol ratio, and disulfide/native thiol ratio of serum samples of both radiology unit workers and nurses were significantly higher and ratio of native thiol/total thiol was lower than the control group. The radiation dose in radiology unit workers was mean±SD: 0.02±0.009, median (min-max): 0.02 (0.001-0.04). Thiol-disulfide homeostasis was disturbed and the balance shifted in the direction of oxidant damage, even at low-dose IR exposure and normal range. As far as we know, the current findings first demonstrate an apparent chronic oxidative stress in the subjects who were occupationally exposed to antineoplastic drugs and radiation even if annual radiation exposure dose measurements are normal.

Rheological Characterization of Yield-Stress Fluids with Brookfield Viscometer

Abstract This paper analyzes various techniques to use viscometers equipped with vane spindles to characterize rheological properties of yield stress fluids. Specifically, application of Brookfield viscometers to this end is discussed. A wide selection of toothpastes and lotions were tested. It is shown that a simple method based on apparent shear rate and stress, commonly referred to as a representative viscosity method, works well for moderately non-Newtonian samples but may significantly underestimate viscosity for samples with a more pronounced yield stress behavior. To get more accurate data an integral equation relating torque to angular velocity needs to be solved which can be easily done numerically to get a good agreement between the data collected on an inexpensive viscometer and the data from high-end rheometers.

Fracture Mechanics on Aluminum Specimens

ASTM standards for A413 aluminum alloy specimen assays were used based on standard E399-05, with a minimum requirement of three specimens. Linear elastic fracture mechanic testing was carried out in plane strain conditions and fracture toughness of the tested aluminum, critical stress intensity factor was determined. Four specimens with the selected geometry were made, since in the pre-cracking process a non-acceptable propagation of crack may be present, i.e., the crack does not propagate in a parabolic manner. In like manner, the Type SE (B) specimen, that is, a beam subject to bending under a monotonic load, was used. Stress efforts were induced in the experiment, the load mode for such experiments is mode I, determining a temporary value of the KQ apparent stress intensity factor. When such value complies with the validity criteria of E-399 Standard, it becomes the stress intensity factor KIC of material.

Study on the source parameters of the micro-earthquakes in Laohutai coal mine based on double difference relocation

Seismicity related to industrial mining activities needs to be understood and quantified in order to ensure safe mining operations. It is of great important to determine if the sources of such events follow the common models and theories, and determine the source rupture property and scale of such events. Moreover, the location of the source is very important to obtain the source parameters. For this purpose, we analyze 103 events recorded in the Laohutai coal mine that are related to fault structure and mining activities to determine their source properties based on relocation. Firstly, the 103 micro-earthquakes were relocated based on double difference algorithm. Then, the source parameters of seismic moment M0, source radius R, corner frequency f0, seismic attenuation Q, energy E, stress drop △σ and apparent stress σa are computed based on relocation, Brune model and grid-search method. The relationship between the other source parameters and seismic moment, the relationship between ML and Mw, and the influence of location on source parameters and magnitude are further analyzed. Finally, the difference of the source parameters between Laohutai coal mine, Qianqiu coal mine and natural earthquakes are analyzed. We find that the source location can be effectively corrected based on double difference algorithm; ω2 model is well suited to estimate source parameters of micro-earthquakes in the Laohutai coal mine. The source spectra show strong directivity effects. Stations in the rupture direction have higher corner frequencies, while stations away from rupture direction have lower corner frequencies. With the increase of M0, the source parameters of R, E and △σ basically show a linear increase, the source parameter f0 basically show a linear decrease and the apparent stress fluctuate up and down around a certain value as a whole. After relocation, the location of the source has a significant effect on the quality attenuation factor Q and has no obvious effect on other source parameters. The influence of relocation on moment magnitude and local magnitude is not obvious. The moment magnitude is linear with the local magnitude. Considering Mw, ML1 can relatively well be used to evaluate the magnitude of the earthquakes in Laohutai coal mine; For the micro-earthquakes with the same magnitude, the values of corner frequency, stress drop, apparent stress and energy in Qianqiu coal mine are greater than those in Laohutai coal mine, the value of source radius in Laohutai coal mine is greater than those in Qianqiu coal mine. For the events with the same magnitude, the corner frequency and the stress drop value of micro-earthquakes are smaller than those of natural earthquake. These indicate that the rupture properties and scales of micro-earthquakes in Laohutai coal mine are different from those of the micro-earthquakes in Qianqiu coal mine and natural earthquakes. The results help us to effectively evaluate the property and magnitude of microseismic source, and better understand causes and consequences of microseismicity in coal mine.

SOURCE PARAMETERS of STRONG EARTHQUAKES of the EARTH

For nine strongest earthquakes in Russia and the World, dynamic parameters were determined. They were calculated from the P-wave spectra recorded by IRIS-IDA digital equipmentat Obninsk (OBN), Talaya (TLY) and Arti (ARU) stations at the epicentral distances =30–80°.The following parameters are given: seismic moment, rupture length, stress drop and apparent stress, average displacement during rupture of earthquake. The moment magnitude Mw obtained from seismic moment M0 at Obninsk, Talaya, and Arti stations was calculate by the formula of H. Kanamori.A comparison of the obtained parameters M0 and Mw with the data of the GCMT international center showed their proximity.

SPECTRAL and SOURCE PARAMETERS of CRIMEAN-BLACK SEA EARTHQUAKES

The spectral and dynamic source parameters (М0, r0, , , ησ, , ū, Eu and Mw) of 13 Crimean earthquakes with КП = 7.2–11.2 (Mw=2.6–4.1), restored by 123 amplitude spectra of longitudinal and transverse seismic waves recorded by digital regional seismic stations is shown. Approximation of the spectra and the source dynamic parameters calculation based on their parameters is performed in the framework of the Brune dislocation model. Four to seven station definitions participated in the averaging of focal parameters, which ensured a small standard deviation, the scattering degree index of the individual estimates. The best convergence of the station definitions is obtained for the radius of a circular dislocation. The highest values of dynamic para-meters have been obtained for the perceptible earthquake on March 2 with КП=11.2, and the lowest values have been obtained for its weak aftershock on April 6 with КП = 7.2. Within the total range of energies the value of the stress drop does not exceed = 106Pa(10 bar), and the apparent stress drop does not exceed ησ<3∙105Pa (3 bar). The average values of seismic moments and circular dislocation radius within the errors of their deter-mination match the average long-term correlations of the parameters on the earthquake energy level obtained by the analog recording.For the strongest earthquakes on March 2 with Mwreg=4.1 and October 18 with Mwreg=3.8 solutions of the focal mechanisms were obtained. The March 2 earthquake occurred in the central part of the region near the South Coast of Crimea under the action of horizontal tensile forces oriented near the latitude. The type of movement in the focus is a obligue slip with predominance of a normal component over a strike-slip. The earthquake on October 18 occurred in the central part of the Black Sea basin in condition of sublatitudinal compression and submeridional extension. Type of movement in the source is a pure strike-slip. For the main shock on March 2 and its six aftershocks, energy spectra according to the data of Alushta station and their main parameters are given. The analysis of obtained results is given.

Model for predicting the variation of shear stress in unsaturated soils during strain-softening

Several of the geotechnical structures constructed with unsaturated soils undergo a large deformation prior to reaching failure conditions (e.g., progressive failure of a soil slope). During this process, the shear stress in soils typically increases initially and then reduces with an increase in the shear strain. The prediction of the stress–strain relationship is critical for reasonable interpretation of the mechanical behavior of those geo-structures that undergo large deformation. This paper introduces a model based on the disturbed state concept (DSC) to predict the variation of shear stress in unsaturated soils during the strain-softening process under consolidated drained triaxial compression condition. In this model, the apparent stress–strain relationship is formulated as a weighted average of a hyperbolic hardening response extending the pre-peak state stress–strain curve and a linear response extending the critical state stress–strain curve with an assumed disturbance function as the weight. The prediction procedure is described in detail and the proposed model is validated using several sets of published data on unsaturated soils varying from coarse- to fine-grained soils. Finally, a comprehensive error analysis is undertaken based on an index of agreement approach.

Dynamic early warning of rockburst using microseismic multi-parameters based on Bayesian network

Rockburst is a phenomenon where the elastic deformation may be emitted suddenly because of rock fragmentation, ejection, launching, and even earthquake. This may result in casualties, failure or deformation of the support structure, and damage to field equipment. Therefore, early warning of rockburst is significant. In this paper, a dynamic early warning model of rockburst using microseismic multi-parameters based on Bayesian network is proposed. Taking the moment magnitude, seismic energy, source radius, apparent stress, and dynamic stress drop as Bayesian network parameters input. 114 sets of parameters required for Bayesian network structure learning are obtained by pre-processing the historical data of rockburst, and belief update is performed by the Junction Tree algorithm. Besides, the model passes self-validation, 6-fold cross-validation, ROC curve analysis and using new historical data to real-time early warning analysis. The results indicate that the proposed model has good precision and can effectively realize early warning of rockbursts. Furthermore, through the strength of the influence of parent–child nodes and sensitivity analysis, it can find that moment magnitude and seismic energy are the most influential parameters. They can as a significant reference for the early warning of rockburst.
