This study presents the initial results of testing on sandpack and Berea sandstone specimens. The experimental procedures and testing facility design can...

... rock are of major importance. Plane strain compression experiments were performed on dry, oil- and water-saturated Berea sandstone under different boundary conditions. The deformation of the material was measured and the acoustic emission (AE) activity was recorded. Onset of inelastic response...

... ABSTRACT: This paper compared various unloading criteria used in multi-stage triaxial tests for determining the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope. Results from single-stage triaxial tests formed the baseline for comparison. Three types of rock outcrop were used: Berea sandstone, Eagle Ford shale...
