Using Electromagnetic Time Reversal to Locate Faults in Transmission Lines: Definition and Application of the Mirrored Minimum Energy Property
Mario Paolone, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi, Asia Codino
This paper presents an application of the Electro-magnetic Time Reversal (EMTR) in changing media to identify the fault location along a single-conductor transmission line. It is shown that the time-reversed quantities exhibit a property, called Mirrored M ...
2017Effect of fluid viscosity on fault frictional behaviour
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Chiara Cornelio
Understanding fluids viscosity effects on fault dynamics can shed light on the induced seismicity in engineering reservoirs where fluids with viscosity ranking from 1mPa s-1 to 1000 mPa s-1 are also injected during hydraulic fracturing process in order to ...
2017Impacts of Thermally Induced Stresses on Fracture Stability During Geological Storage of CO2
Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano
Geomechanical stability issues may arise due to induced thermal stresses because CO2 will generally reach the storage formation at a temperature lower than that of the reservoir. Cold injection will form a cold region around the injection well, which will ...
Elsevier2017Petro-physical properties of the Main Fault at the Mont Terri Laboratory
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Christophe Nussbaum, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza, Eduardo David Gramajo Silva
This work focuses on the petro-physical characterization of the Main Fault zone at the Mont Terri Laboratory, in Switzerland. ...
2016Dislocation Motion and the Microphysics of Flash Heating and Weakening of Faults during Earthquakes
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Andrea Cavallo
Earthquakes are the result of slip along faults and are due to the decrease of rock frictional strength (dynamic weakening) with increasing slip and slip rate. Friction experiments simulating the abrupt accelerations (>>10 m/s(2)), slip rates (similar to 1 ...
