Fault reactivation by fluid injection: Controls from stress state and injection rate [PDF]
We studied the influence of stress state and fluid injection rate on the reactivation of faults. We conducted experiments on a saw-cut Westerly granite sample under triaxial stress conditions.

A phase-field method for modeling cracks with frictional contact
We introduce a phase-field method for continuous modeling of cracks with frictional contacts. Compared with standard discrete methods for frictional contacts, the phase-field method has two attractive features: (1) it can represent arbitrary crack ...

Effect of pore-size distribution on the collapse behaviour of anthropogenic sandy soil deposits
In the former open-pit mines of the Lusatian region in Germany, several liquefaction events have occurred during the recent years in the anthropogenic deposits made of very loose sandy soils.

Influence mechanism of the rubbing of drilling pipe for the stability of hole wall [PDF]
The hole wall appears because of the gas drainage of the coal seam, the hole wall is divided for the elastic area and plastic area, according to the elastic mechanics and rock mechanics established borehole wall stress model, caused by gas drilling ...
