MODELS TO ESTIMATE BRAZILIAN INDIRECT TENSILE STRENGTH OF LIMESTONE IN SATURATED STATE
Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2016 There are a number of methods of estimating physical and mechanical characteristics. Principally, the most widely used is the regression, but recently the more sophisticated methods such as neural networks has frequently been applied, as well. This paper

A new approach for understanding the mechanism of wellbore strengthening theory
Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2022 To achieve fast, safe and economical drilling operations through formations containing natural fractures or vugs, all fractures and vugs must be perfectly sealed using proper fractures seal materials in a process called wellbore strengthening.

Experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of Alfas stone [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 This paper focuses on the experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of the Alfas natural building stone. Two series of uniaxial compression tests and indirect tensile tests (Brazilian tests) were performed in order to determine the uniaxial

MODELING THE BRAZILIAN TENSILE STRENGTH TEST OF LIGNITE FROM PESTEANA OPENPIT MINE USING THE COMBINED FINITE-DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD – FDEM [PDF]
Fiabilitate şi Durabilitate, 2023 Strength is the property of rocks to keep their internal structure unmodified and not deform under the action of a stress. Tensile strength is defined as the maximum tensile stress the rock can endure until its failure and it is usually lower than ...
