Rupture by damage accumulation in rocks [PDF]
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]
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]
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.

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