This study aligns with the Aims and Scope of Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering by contributing to the understanding of heat transfer processes in geomechanical systems. The research applies a peridynamic approach to model unsteady heat transfer in permafrost, addressing challenges related to soil loosening and phase transitions in frozen ground. By integrating numerical simulation with particle interaction models, the study provides novel insights into the thermal and mechanical behavior of thawing soils surrounding mine workings. These findings are relevant to engineering applications involving underground construction, thermal stability assessment, and computational modeling of complex mechanical systems, making the study well-suited for the journal's focus on advancing mechanical engineering methodologies and their practical applications.
