From liquid to solid bonding in cohesive granular media

, 2010
We study the transition of a granular packing from liquid to solid bonding in the course of drying. The particles are initially wetted by a liquid brine and the cohesion of the packing is ensured by capillary forces, but the crystallization of the solute

Trial of liquidation cementation of boreholes at Carpathians oil and gas deposits

Budownictwo i Architektura, 2015
Complex geological structure as well as long-term intensive operation of oil and gas deposits in Borislav-Pokutska zone of Carpathians leads to changes in thermo-dynamical parameters of pools, rock deformation and, as a result, to crippling of the ...

Lime stabilisation for earthworks: a UK perspective [PDF]

, 2014
Lime stabilisation is a versatile technique applied during earthworks operations. Modern soil recycling units are much more efficient at pulverising fill material and intermixing the added binder/water than machinery available 20 years ago.

Changes in hydrodynamic, structural and geochemical properties in carbonate rock samples due to reactive transport [PDF]

, 2017
Reactive transport plays an important role in the development of a wide range of both anthropic and natural processes affecting geological media. To predict the consequences of reactive transport processes on structural and hydrodynamic properties of a ...

Charnley femoral cemented stem with a permeable and resorbable cement restrictor and low-viscosity cement

SICOT-J, 2019
Introduction: In 1979, in his first book dealing with low-friction arthroplasty (LFA), Charnley highlighted the use of a cement restrictor. Breusch and Malchau described in 2005 the “second-generation cementing technique.” The main objective of this ...

Note on the importance of hydrocarbon fill for reservoir quality prediction in sandstones [PDF]

, 2002
Oil emplacement retarded the rate of quartz cementation in the Brae Formation deep-water sandstone reservoirs of the Miller and Kingfisher fields (United Kingdom North Sea), thus preserving porosity despite the rocks' being buried to depths of 4 km and ...

Is Young's Modulus a Critical Coating Property Determining Fouling‐Release Performance of Marine Coatings?

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The release of foulers from protective marine coatings is determined by several interrelated material properties, including the strength of Young's modulus, the flexibility of chain segments, the surface free energy, and the magnitude of hydrodynamic stress.
