A Biologically‐Architected Wear and Damage‐Resistant Nanoparticle Coating From the Radular Teeth of Cryptochiton stelleri

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.

Structural analysis of the eruptive fissures at Mount Etna (Italy)

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2011
Mount Etna produces frequent eruptions from its summit craters and from fissures on its flanks. The flank fissures trend approximately radially to the summit, and are mainly concentrated in three rift zones that are located on the NE, S and W flanks ...

Fracture system in shale gas reservoir: Prospect of characterization and modeling techniques

open access: yesJournal of Natural Gas Geoscience, 2021
The quality and production of shale gas are directly dependent on the development of fractures. Especially in large-scale fracturing development, natural and hydraulic fractures play significant roles.

Tectonic interpretation of the connectivity of a multiscale fracture system in limestone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper studies the statistics and tectonism of a multiscale natural fracture system in limestone. The fracture network exhibits a self‐similar characteristic with a correlation between its power law length exponent a and fractal dimension D, i.e., a ≈

Stress‐Induced Melting Controlled Failure Mechanisms of Methane Hydrate

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We study methane hydrate via nanoindentation and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), finding its regional melting and mechanical properties, challenging existing views on hydrogen‐bonded crystals. Abstract Methane hydrate, a kind of nonstoichiometric crystalline, attracted worldwide attentions as a promising substitute energy. Its Dissociation is thought

Effect of the Initial Support of the Tunnel on the Characteristics of Rockburst: Case Study and Mechanism Analysis

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2022
Rockburst is still a stubborn disease in the field of engineering geology. The present research pays more attention to the influence of geological conditions on rockburst and less to the influence of type and stiffness of engineering support on rockburst.

Review of discrete fracture network characterization for geothermal energy extraction

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Geothermal reservoirs are highly anisotropic and heterogeneous, and thus require a variety of structural geology, geomechanical, remote sensing, geophysical and hydraulic techniques to inform Discrete Fracture Network flow models.
