Rupture by damage accumulation in rocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The deformation of rocks is associated with microcracks nucleation and propagation, i.e. damage. The accumulation of damage and its spatial localization lead to the creation of a macroscale discontinuity, so-called "fault" in geological terms, and to the

Acoustic fluidization and the extraordinary mobility of sturzstroms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
with only a comparatively small vertical drop in height. Their extraordinary mobility appears to be a consequence of sustained fluid-like behavior during motion, which persists even for driving stresses well below those normally associated with granular ...

Water saturation induced changer in the indirect (Brazilian) tensile strength and the failure mode of some igneous rock materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The present study concentrates on water induced strength reduction and variation of the failure mode in indirect (Brazilian) tension tests of several igneous rock materials under three moisture cases of oven-dry, air-dry and fully saturated states.

Evaluation Method of Granite Multiscale Mechanical Properties Based on Nanoindentation Technology

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
In order to study the mechanical properties of granite at the micro- and nanoscale, the load-displacement curve, residual indentation information, and component information of the quartz, feldspar, and mica in granite were obtained using a ...

Research on Rock Strength Test Based on Electro-Hydraulic Servo Point Load Instrument

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
A new electro-hydraulic servo point load instrument was designed to address the problem that the existing point load instrument cannot be loaded continuously and uniformly; different loading rates (using three loading rates: 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 kN/s) were ...

Fracture of disordered solids in compression as a critical phenomenon: I. Statistical mechanics formalism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This is the first of a series of three articles that treats fracture localization as a critical phenomenon. This first article establishes a statistical mechanics based on ensemble averages when fluctuations through time play no role in defining the ...

Results of the experimental research of the heat-transfer jet pressure to the rock surface during thermal reaming of the borehole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The performed analysis of scientific sources confirms the existence of a small number of publications devoted to the experimental research of the gasdynamics and plasmodynamics of jets used as a heat- transfer medium in the thermal ...

Application and prospects of 3D printing in physical experiments of rock mass mechanics and engineering: materials, methodologies and models

open access: yesInternational Journal of Coal Science & Technology, 2023
The existence of joints or other kinds of discontinuities has a dramatic effect on the stability of rock excavations and engineering. As a result, a great challenge in rock mass mechanics testing is to prepare rock or rock-like samples with defects.
