... occurs due to chemical and mechanical compaction. The chemical and mechanical compaction may include a pressure solution and a reduction in permeability could be explained by this pressure solution [1]-[5]. Yasuhara, et al.

...-wave modes exist that propagate along fracture intersections. Ultrasonic waves propagated along the intersection between two orthogonal, synthetic fractures in aluminum were compared with waves that were propagated through the bulk and along single fractures as a function of stress. Intersections give...

Paper Number: ARMA-2012-565
... ABSTRACT: Laboratory experiments were performed to determine the spatial variability of seismic fracture specific stiffness and the dominant flow path within a single fracture subjected to normal stress. Two cylindrical granite specimens were used in the study: an intact sample and a fractured...

The mechanical and transport properties of fractures in rock depend on the topography of the contacting surfaces and the degree of mismatch between them. Understanding this behavior in the earth requires knowledge of how fracture topography and aperture scales...

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: An analytical model that assumes variable height asperities and full interaction between them has been developed and implemented numerically to study the behavior of a single fracture under stress. The model has been used to calculate specific stiffness and aperture profiles...
