The stress state of the subsurface has been shown to have an influence on a number of key processes. For example, the criticality of the stress state indicates how large stress changes need to be before a fault begins to slip, the mean effective stress con ...
Despite natural faults are variably oriented to the Earth's surface and to the local stress field, the mechanics of fault reactivation and slip under variable loading paths (sensu Sibson, 1993) is still poorly understood. Nonetheless, different loading pat ...
The failure mode and strength of rock are often evaluated using failure criteria that (i) neglect the intermediate principal stress or (ii) examine conditions over a limited range ofmean stress. Review of the literature, however, shows that tests involving ...
In central Europe, many geo-energy reservoirs have revealed to be hosted in transverse isotropic crystalline rock, where the rock's mechanical and hydraulic transport properties are poorly constrained. Here, we performed triaxial experiments on Cresciano G ...
In this paper, we study the correlation between the wall shear stress, a hemodynamical index derived from numerical simulations, and an new index MFA-ILT for the characterization of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) in the presence of abdominal aortic aneurysms. ...
Hydraulic fracturing is frequently used to increase the permeability of rock formations. This can be done by creating new fractures as usually done for hydrocarbon extraction or extending and opening fractures as usually done in Enhanced Geothermal Systems ...
We investigate the strain state of ensembles of thin and nearly coalescence-free self-assembled GaN nanowires prepared by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Ti/Al2O3 (0001) substrates. The shifts of Bragg peaks in high-resolution X-ray diffraction p ...
Wear is well known for causing material loss in a sliding interface. Available macroscopic approaches are bound to empirical fitting parameters, which range several orders of magnitude. Major advances in tribology have recently been achieved via Molecular ...
Hydraulic fracturing involves injecting water under high pressure into the bedrock formation to enhance permeability of deep geo-reservoirs. Faults are planar discontinuities cutting the reservoirs, and their reactivation during injection depends of their ...
Nanopores are nanometer sized openings that are the connection between two electrolyte filled reservoirs. The measurement of the ion transport flowing through such a pore allows to probe physically or biologically interesting phenomena. These range from th ...
