Granular shear flow in varying gravitational environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Despite their very low surface gravities, asteroids exhibit a number of different geological processes involving granular matter. Understanding the response of this granular material subject to external forces in microgravity conditions is vital to the ...

Optimal mud pressure design using nonlinear failure criteria for wellbores in shaley sedimentary reservoir

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The present study uses the Modified Mohr‐Coulomb true‐triaxial failure criterion (MMC_TT), which predicts the strength of rock better than the MGC criterion in laboratory true‐triaxial tests to overcome the limitations. Moreover, based on the data from previously published five vertical wells in the Krishna‐Godavari basin (K‐G basin), an empirical ...

Blasting effects of cross‐fault deep‐buried excavation on adjacent existing tunnel stability

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the theoretical analysis of cylindrical wave propagation in a deep rock mass in the fault with a filling layer, the calculation method of peak particle velocity caused by wave propagation in the existing tunnel is established. The viscoelastic characteristics of a rock mass are examined in the analysis.

Structural geometry and gold ores along the first outlined N–S dextral shear zone in the Egyptian Nubian Shield, East African orogenic belt: New insights from integrated remote sensing, gravity, magnetic and field studies

open access: yesGeomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
This study outlines the newly identified N–S dextral shear zone within the Egyptian Nubian Shield. The N–S Shear Zone (600–590 Ma) is a significant north-trending geological feature in the Egyptian Nubian Shield, extending over 140 km in length and ...

Failure mechanism of the coal wall at the working face based on an eccentric compression mechanical model

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this study, the nonuniform distribution of the bearing pressure in front of the coal wall has been revealed based on in situ monitoring data and numerical simulation results. Therefore, an eccentric compression mechanical model of the coal wall was established to study the deformation and failure characteristics of a coal wall. The slenderness ratio

Episodic Lithospheric Deformation in Eastern Tibet Inferred From Seismic Anisotropy

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Mechanisms for uplift and deformation of the Tibetan Plateau remain vigorously debated; hypotheses include stepwise growth, distributed thickening, and crustal channel flow, each with a distinct anisotropic signature.

A perspective review of applications of the computed tomography (CT) scan imaging technique for microscopic reservoir rock characterization

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this review, the application of micro‐CT and medical‐CT scanning in the oil and gas industry has been thoroughly discussed. Recent improvements in DRP and modern imaging techniques in the oil and gas industry have been modeled using both experimental and simulation work.

Corrosion effect of hydrochloric acid on the granite: Insights from electrical conductivity, mineral composition, and tensile behavior

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The evolution of electrical conductivity, mineral composition, and tensile behavior such as peak strength, average stiffness, and the energy evolution of the granite specimen under different HCl conditions are studied, analyzed as well as quantified, and investigated, respectively.
