We performed mechanical tests on several, mainly European black shales with different
mineralogical composition, porosity and maturity. The uniaxial and triaxial compressive …

Can mineral physics and mixing theories explain field observations of seismic velocity and
electrical conductivity, and is there an advantage to combining seismological and …

There is no consensus on the processes responsible for near-coeval formation of Archaean
continental crust (dominantly tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite: TTG), greenstone belts …

Underground constructions often encounter water environments, where water–rock
interaction can increase porosity, thereby weakening engineering rocks. Correspondingly …

It is extremely important to investigate the mechanical properties and failure characteristics
of granite at the mesoscale to understand the mesoscopic evolution mechanism of the time …

Determining Earth's structure is a fundamental goal of Earth science, and geophysical
methods play a prominent role in investigating Earth's interior. Geochemical …

The generalized mixture rule (GMR) is used to provide a unified framework for describing
Young's (E), shear (G) and bulk (K) moduli, Lame parameter (λ), and P-and S-wave …

We describe a series of 12 large-strain, two-dimensional simple shear numerical
experiments on two-phase linear and non-linear viscous materials. The modal percentage of …

A simple phenomenological formula is proposed to predict the mechanical properties of
isotropic multiphase materials in terms of component properties, volume fractions, and …
