Fundamentals of Acoustic Emission in Geotechnical Engineering

Professor Ru Zhang is a Distinguished Professor at Sichuan University. Her research is driven by the major strategic demands of national deep-earth exploration and the frontiers of science. She has long been engaged in both fundamental and applied studies in deep-earth rock mechanics and engineering safety, as well as in-situ exploration and intelligent construction in deep geological environments. Professor Zhang has established a solid academic foundation and accumulated extensive expertise in the field of acoustic emission associated with rock fracture.

Dr. Zetian Zhang is an associate professor at Sichuan University, China. He served as a council member and deputy secretary-general of the Deep Space Detection and Development Branch of Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering. His main interests cover basic scientific research on the deep rock mass seepage mechanics, in situ multi-physical fields detection, and multi-field coupling mechanisms in deep underground engineering.

Dr. Anlin Zhang is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Sichuan University, China. He has been awarded the Fellowship of the China National Postdoctoral Program for Innovation Talents. His research focuses extensively on both experimental and theoretical investigations in deep rock mechanics, with particular emphasis on the mechanical properties, failure mechanisms, and engineering disturbance responses of rocks under deep in-situ geotechnical conditions.
