Roughness of fracture surfaces
We study the fracture surface of three dimensional samples through a model for quasi-static fractures known as Born Model. In particular, we consider the roughness of this fracture surface. We find for the roughness exponent a value ζ = 0.5 expected for “small length scales” in microfracturing experiments. Since this corresponds to a slow evolution for the fracture, our simulations confirm that...
متن کاملReservoir Rock Characterization Using Wavelet Transform and Fractal Dimension
The aim of this study is to characterize and find the location of geological boundaries in different wells across a reservoir. Automatic detection of the geological boundaries can facilitate the matching of the stratigraphic layers in a reservoir and finally can lead to a correct reservoir rock characterization. Nowadays, the well-to-well correlation with the aim of finding the geological l...
متن کاملFractal-wavelet-fusion-based re-ranking of joint roughness coefficients
Nowadays, Barton’s Joint Roughness Coefficients (JRC) are widely used as the index for roughness and as a challenging fracture property. When JRC ranking is the goal, deriving JRC from different fractal/wavelet procedures can be conflicting. Complexity increases when various rankings outcome from different calculation methods. Therefore, using Barton’s JRC, we cannot make a decision based on th...
متن کاملFractal Dimension of Brittle Fracture
Using a worldwide catalog of earthquakes we analyze the distribution of distances between pairs of earthquake hypocenters to determine the spatial fractal dimension 6 of an earthquake fracture. As the time span of the catalog increases, 8 asymptotically reaches the value 2.1-2.2 for shallow earthquakes. Approximately the same asymptotic value of dimension is obtained for a catalog of earthquake...
متن کاملMeasurement of Perceptual Roughness in Fractal Surfaces
In this paper we present an investigation into visually perceived surface roughness. First we present psychophysical evidence that suggests that there is a simple relationship between perceived roughness and two well known surface parameters: fractal dimension and rms roughness. And that neither are good estimators, on there own, of perceived roughness. Second we present a measurement model for...
