The initiating explosive devices are prohibited in rock breaking near the goaf of the highly gassy mine. It is effective and applicable to cracking the hard roof with static cracking agent. By testing the static cracking of cubic limestone (size: 200 × 200 × 200 mm) with true triaxial rock mechanics testing machine under the effect of bidirectional stress and by monitoring the evolution process...

Research on the modeling of rock mechanics parameters is of great significance to the exploration of oil and gas. The use of logging data with the Kriging interpolation to study rock mechanics parameters has been proven to be effective in reservoir prediction and other oilfield applications and can provide additional data. However, there will sometimes be a great deviation due to the limited sa...

Hydraulic fracturing is an important means for the development of tight oil and gas reservoirs. Laboratory rock mechanics experiments can be used to better understand mechanism hydraulic fracture. Therefore, in this study we carried out on Triassic Yanchang Formation sandstone from Ordos Basin, China. Sparse tomography was obtain ultrasonic velocity images sample during fracturing. Then, combin...

The study of rock fractures is essential in evaluating stability of underground structures, understanding earthquakes, and assessing storage and transport of oil and gas in rock formations. Geophysical monitoring techniques, particularly compressional and shear wave propagation, can probe the internal structure of rock and fractures remotely and nondestructively and can provide insight into fra...

Indoor rock climbing is becoming more popular for people of all ages. Despite the tremendous interest in this competitive sport, participants are made aware of the dangers associated with participating. The authors present the first reported case of a clay-shoveler's fracture at the T1 spinous process during indoor rock climbing. They describe the management and natural history of this fracture...

The fracture of interfacial crack is the main failure type jointed rock mass. Therefore, it very important to study For similarity mass and composites (all are composed by two parts, intact materials their contact interfaces), interface mechanics widely used for analysis (bimaterials) can be applied based on basic theories mechanics, was analyzed, one new criterion initiation proposed. Moreover...

The size effect has a significant on the mechanical behavior of rock, thereby fundamentally influencing stability rock excavations. main challenge associated with experimental research fractured mass lies in difficulty specimen preparation to represent influence and fracture material. In order preliminarily explore feasibility 3D printing technology field mechanics, specimens different sizes ch...

In this paper, we present a combined geological, geophysical and rock mechanics approach to natural fractured reservoir characterization. The local structure entropy analysis on 3D seismic data is used to detect distributions of fault and subfault systems. The curvature attribute along with modeled strain and stress field, constrained with the log data measuring Pand S-wave velocities and rock ...
