On Applicability of Some Indirect Tests for Estimation of Tensile Strength of Anisotropic Rocks

The tensile strength of rocks plays a noteworthy role in their failure mechanism, and its determination can be beneficial in optimizing the design of the rock structures. Schistose rocks due to their inherent anisotropy in different foliation directions show a diverse strength at each direction. The purpose of this work was to compare and assess the tensile strength of phyllite, which was obtai...

Shock Metamorphism in Impact Melt Rocks

Flexure of cranial sutures.

Beam samples containing cranial sutures were prepared from embalmed and unembalmed cranial bone and were tested to determine their flexural stiffness and strength. With the aid of layered beam theory, the flexural stiffnesses of beams containing cranial sutures were compared to hypothetical layered cranial bone beams which did not contain sutures. The bending stiffnesses and strengths of crania...

Search for Fullerenes in Rocks from Ries Impact Crater

Fullerenes have been so far identified in a few rock types with unique geological history. One group of these finds is related to impacts of extraterrestrial bodies on Earth surface, strictly speaking the impact structure of Sudbury (Becker et al., 1994) and to events recorded from Permian/Triassic (Becker et al., 2001) and Cretaceous/Tertiary boundaries (Heymann et al., 1994). Generally two ba...
