Geomechanical Behavior of Shales

Abstract

The paper presents the recent advances and their relevance in the study of the geomechanical behavior of shales considering both experimental and modelling aspects. Shales are involved in several energy-related engineering applications where complex multiphysical conditions are encountered. Partial saturation, non-isothermal conditions, plasticity and damage mechanisms may have a fundamental impact on their geomechanical behavior. The relevance of these aspects for shales is presented in the paper both from advance experimental and modeling point of view.

Bachelor of Engineering
A Bachelor of Engineering (BE or BEngg) or a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc (Engg) or BSE) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded to a student after three to five years of studying engineering at an accredited college or university. In the United Kingdom, a Bachelor of Engineering degree will be accredited by one of the Engineering Council's professional engineering institutions as suitable for registration as an incorporated engineer or chartered engineer with further study to masters level.
Electrical engineering
Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design, and application of equipment, devices, and systems which use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It emerged as an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after the commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electrical power generation, distribution, and use.
Architectural engineering
Architectural engineering or architecture engineering, also known as building engineering, is an engineering discipline that deals with the engineering systems - such as structural, mechanical, electrical, lighting, environmental, climate control, telecommunications, security, and other technologies used in buildings. From reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the construction of resilient buildings, architectural engineers are at the forefront of addressing several major challenges of the 21st century.
