An assessment of bottom current controlled sedimentation in Pacific Ocean abyssal environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The effect of the circulation of polar-sourced dense waters on the deep seafloor is still largely unknown. This paper presents multibeam bathymetric evidence for the existence of present-day contourite drifts on the central Pacific ocean at depths ...

Slit tube responses and rock fracture characteristics in slit charge blasting under high in situ stress

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this article, the finite element method‐smoothed particle hydrodynamics adaptive coupling algorithm is applied to numerically simulate and analyze the dynamic response of the slit tube and the crack propagation under high in situ stress. The dynamic response of the slit tube mainly exhibits radial response in the vertical direction of the slit and ...

Development of an improved numerical model for fracture propagation in hydraulic fracturing of low-permeability formations using FracproPT software

open access: yesUnconventional Resources
The primary technologies employed to access unconventional resources today are horizontal drilling and single or multi-stage fracturing. Micro-seismic data frequently corroborates that hydraulic fracturing in shale reservoirs generates intricate fracture

Characterization of the permeability evolution of hard and soft rocks under hydro‐mechanical coupling conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The permeability variation of rocks during complete stress–strain processes was investigated. A mathematical model describing the influence of rock damage on permeability was constructed. The permeability–stress relationship between soft rock and hard rock was proposed.

Strain‐based modeling and analysis for rock blasting and geomechanics applications

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a novel strain‐based modeling approach for blasting and geomechanical applications, using measurable variables like particle velocity, strain, and displacement. By bypassing complex constitutive relations, strain‐based models capture critical blasting trends and full‐blast design parameters with minimal calibration.

Effects of joint geometric configurations on cyclic shear behavior of intermittent joints under constant normal stiffness conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The present manuscript explored the effects of joint configurations on the cyclic shear behavior of intermittent joints for the first time. The cyclic shear response, shear strength degradation, dilation characteristics evolution, frictional property, fractal dimension, and dissipative energy were further analyzed during shear cycles, which is crucial ...
