The experimental methods and elastic properties of shale bedding planes materials state-of-the-art review

The identification of physical properties and fracture behavior shale or hydrocarbon materials has grown to have substantial importance in the last four decades industry investigators alike due its unconventional oil gas resources. This interest deviates from being a transversely isotropic material formed by bedding layers with different orientations properties. In this paper, experimental setup mechanical been reviewed. investigator shows that are not unique, it is highly dependent on, volume, loading type, geolocation. Furthermore, utilized methods identify elastic most common Transducers Strain Detection, gauges, Ultrasonic, Digital image correlation shown detail.
