Wall displacements and ground pressure acting on the lining of a tunnel increase with time. These time-dependent deformations are both due to face advance effect and to the time-dependent behavior of the rock mass.  Viscoelastic materials exhibit both viscous and elastic behaviors. Thorough this study, the effect of different linear viscoelastic models including Maxwell, Kelvin and Kelvin-Voigt...

determination of porosity, permeability, and pore volume compressibility of reservoir rocks and those variations with effective stress changes are of great interest in petroleum engineering. this paper has studied the influence of pore types of carbonate reservoir rocks on pore volume compressibility as well as klinkenberg permeability and porosity at different stress values. in the current stu...

We describe and validate an automated model that retrieves subpixel snow-covered area and effective grain size from Airborne Visible/ Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data. The model analyzes multiple endmember spectral mixtures with a spectral library of snow, vegetation, rock, and soil. We derive snow spectral endmembers of varying grain size from a radiative transfer model; spectra for...

S U M M A R Y Digital rock physics combines modern microscopic imaging with advanced numerical simulations to analyse the physical properties of rocks. Elastic-wave propagation modelling based on the microstructure images is used to estimate the effective elastic properties of the rock. The goal of this paper is to describe and understand how laboratory experiments compare with digital rock phy...
