------------------------------------------------------Abstract---------------------------------------------------------Estimation of strength properties (uniaxial compressive and point load) from physical properties (density, porosity and rebound hardness) of shale rock type from Kogi State, Nigeria was investigated. The shale rock types were sampled and tested for their properties through in-s...

in this work, the mechanism for fracture of brittle substances such as rocks under a uniform normal tension is considered. the oriented straight micro-cracks are mostly created in all the polycrystalline materials resulting from the stress concentrations. the present work focuses on the interactions of the pre-existing micro-cracks, which can grow and propagate within a rock-like specimen. the ...

Formation elastic properties near a borehole may be altered from their original state due to the stress concentration around the borehole. This could result in a biased estimation of formation properties but could provide a means to estimate in situ stress from sonic logging data. In order to properly account for the formation property alteration, we propose an iterative numerical approach to c...

Numerical experimentation is an attractive complement to physical measurement of rock properties. In such experiments, a physical process is simulated in a pore space and then the corresponding property is calculated. For example, a simulation of viscous fluid flow through pores provides permeability. Many authors have used pore-scale numerical methods, such as Lattice-Boltzmann and network mod...

The main objective of this work is to present a new methodology for seismic reservoir characterization that provides fine-scaled reservoir models of facies and reservoir properties, such as porosity, net-to-gross, and, possibly, fluid saturation. The proposed iterative methodology is based on sequential simulations of discrete variables, namely sequential indicator simulation, and a stochastic ...

root and shoot osmotic and elastic properties of two species of haloxylon aphyllum and h.persicum in response to water stress were studied. the main goal of the study was to determine if the tissuesof two species utilize osmotic adjustment and/or enhance their elastic property during prolonged water stresscondition. the results showed that although tissue elasticity of both species of haloxylon...

Deep geothermal energy is a renewable and environmentally friendly resource, the hot dry rock in reservoir subjected to thermal cycling treatment. Thermal treatment can cause stresses matrix result cracking, which significantly influence physical mechanical properties of rock. To investigate on microcrack propagation behavior granite rock, series tests were performed nontreated treated samples....

The existence of fractures has a significant influence on the mechanical properties rock mass. sensitivity mass’s to fracture’s geometric parameters is conducive improving measurement accuracy fractured mass engineering. Firstly, fracture in dam site area Lianghekou Hydropower Station were counted using ShapeMetriX3D system. Then, effect deformation characteristics, failure mode, and investigat...
