.... Digital Image Correlation was further employed to calculate the strain field developed by change in sample structure in order to investigate the likelihood of micro-fracture development. From the results of this study, it was found that a) the sample exposed to 0.2M NaCl solution experienced the most...

... crack initiation and propagation in rocks, it is important to know the stress and strain fields around a flaw tip (in this study, the term flaw is used to describe artificially-created cracks induced in the rock specimen before it is uniaxially loaded). In fact, even though there are analytical...

... of the program is examining methods of predicting the impact to local ground water supplies after mining activity occurs. One of these methods, is through the application of numerical modeling.

... groundwater resources are disrupted by longwall mining, the effect may be quantified in terms of changes in the conductivity and connectivity of aquifers overlying the mined panel (Bai ? Elsworth, 1994). The mining-induced strain field dilates or compresses pre-existing fractures that comprise the secondary...
