Computational Analysis of the Vibrational Response of Lunar Regolith Made of Nonspherical Grains

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vibration‐based systems have shown that appropriately oriented and tuned mechanical oscillations can disrupt regolith interlocking and promote flow. Building on this evidence, the present study investigates vibration‐controlled granular discharge as a potential ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization) strategy, with the aim of supporting ...

An Elasto–Plastic Hydro–Mechanical Model for Analyzing the Swelling Behavior of Heterogeneous Clay–Sulfate Rocks

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Hypoplastic Model for Unsaturated Soils With Degree of Saturation Dependent Stiffness

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an enhanced hydro‐mechanically coupled hypoplastic constitutive model for unsaturated soils, developed by extending an existing framework, with particular emphasis on improving the stiffness formulation to better capture the influence of the degree of saturation. The existing framework links Bishop's effective stress to the

Hydro‐Mechanical Modelling of Gas Migration in Bentonite: Formulation and Laboratory‐Scale Validation

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gas generation and migration in bentonite buffer materials are critical processes affecting the performance of deep geological repositories for radioactive waste. This study presents a new hydro‐mechanical formulation for simulating gas migration in saturated, compacted bentonite, with particular emphasis on the role of non‐uniform stress ...

Monitoring shallow geothermal aquifers with active‐source distributed acoustic sensing: A prognostic feasibility study on the University of Leeds Geothermal Campus

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.
