A detailed understanding of how induced cracks form and propagate in rock is important in
many fields, particularly in mining where size reduction of material is a major cost. This …

X-ray computed tomography, neutron computed tomography, and magnetic resonance
imaging are driving novel scientific advances by enabling rapid, non-destructive, three …

With fractured rocks making up an important part of hydrocarbon reservoirs worldwide,
detailed analysis of fractures and fracture networks is essential. However, common analyses …

X-ray computed microtomography (μCT), a non-destructive analytical technique, was used
to create volumetric three-dimensional (3D) models representing the internal composition …

Narrow fractures—or more generally narrow planar features—can be difficult to extract from
3D image datasets, and available methods are often unsuitable or inapplicable. A proper …

Acoustic emission (AE) and 4D X-ray computed tomography (4D XCT) were used
simultaneously to study crack initiation and propagation in two different types of quartz-rich …

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is frequently used for non-destructive imaging and
analysis of internal features in rock samples. In this paper we review the method for analysis …

Computed tomography scan imaging techniques have been used on core samples to
investigate the effect of natural open fractures on reservoir flow in the Snøhvit Gas …

Deep geological disposal remains the preferred option at present for the management of
long-living and heat-emitting radioactive waste, which consists of confining the waste during …

This study presents a qualitative and quantitative analysis of porosity in deformation bands
by applying X-ray micro-computed tomography in conjunction with microstructural analysis …
