Stability Analysis of Salt Cavern Gas Storage Using 2D Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Finite-Element Software
Ensuring the stability and integrity of underground gas storage salt caverns is a very complicated subject due to the non-linear and time-dependent behavior of rock salts under complicated thermal and mechanical loading conditions. For this reason, pressure and temperature fluctuations in the caverns and their surrounding strata must be integrated into the analysis and the numerical tools that ...
متن کاملHydro-mechanical coupling in zero-thickness interface elements, formulation and applications in geomechanics
Zero-thickness joint/interface elements of the Goodman type, have been advantageously used to solve many problems in solid mechanics involving material interfaces or discontinuities. Some years ago, the authors have also proposed a version of such element for flow/diffusion and hydro-mechanical (H-M) coupled problems, either geomechanical or multiphysics. Some advantages are for instance that f...
متن کاملThermo-hydro-mechanical Coupling in Clay Barriers
A complete thermo-hydro-mechanical model is presented to tackle the complex coupling problems encountered in clay barriers. A detailed formulation coupling the heat, moisture (liquid water and water vapour) and, air transfer in a deformable unsaturated soil is given. The formulation of the AlonsoGens’s mechanical model for unsaturated soil is also incorporated. The sensitivity to some parameter...
متن کاملThermo-Mechanical Finite Element Modeling of the Friction Drilling Process
Friction drilling uses a rotating conical tool to penetrate the workpiece and create a bushing in a single step without generating chips. This research investigates the threedimensional (3D) finite element modeling (FEM) of large plastic strain and hightemperature work-material deformation in friction drilling. The explicit FEM code with temperature-dependent mechanical and thermal properties, ...
متن کاملCoupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes in fault zones during rapid slip
The physical processes which occur during an earthquake exhibit several coupled phenomena as large variations of stress, pore pressure and temperature take place in the slip zone. Thermo-poro-mechanical couplings due to shear heating can be associated to phase transition such as vaporization of the pore fluid, melting of fault gouge and to chemical effects such as dehydration of minerals or dec...
