Richao Cong
Visiting PhD Student
My research focuses on the geomechanical properties and fracture propagation mechanisms of thin interbeds in coal measure strata. I am proficient in grid nanoindentation tests, SEM-EDS techniques, conventional geomechanical tests, and the finite-discrete element combined method (FDEM).
