In this work, we propose a dynamical system based strategy for establishing a stable contact with convex shaped surfaces during non-contact/contact scenarios. A contact is called stable if the impact occurs only once and the robot remains in contact with t ...

Pre-dismantling THM modelling

FEBEX (Full-scale Engineered Barrier Experiment in Crystalline Host Rock) is a research and demonstration project that was initiated by ENRESA (Spain). The aim of the project is to study the behaviour of near-field components in a repository for high-level ...

Testing of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of shales

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

Shales are among the most commonly considered geomaterials in current energy-related geomechanical investigations, as they are involved in engineering applications such as the unconventional extraction of natural gas, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste ge ...

On the Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Remoulded and Natural Opalinus Clay Shale

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

The geo-energy sector makes use of advanced technologies such as shale gas extraction, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste geological disposal that rely on the exploitation of shale formations. Due to the great depths involved in these applications and the ...

Water retention behaviour of compacted bentonites: experimental observations and constitutive model

Anne-Catherine Adolphine M Dieudonné

Bentonite-based materials are studied as potential barriers for the geological disposal of radioactive waste. In this context, the hydro-mechanical behaviour of the engineered barrier is first characterized by free swelling conditions followed by constant ...

A minimalistic microbial food web in an excavated deep subsurface clay rock

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Alexandre Bagnoud

Clay rocks are being considered for radioactive waste disposal, but relatively little is known about the impact of microbes on the long-term safety of geological repositories. Thus, a more complete understanding of microbial community structure and functio ...
