MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SHALE GAS RESERVOIR ROCKS AND ITS RELATION TO THE
IN-SITU STRESS VARIATION OBSERVED IN SHALE GAS RESERV Page 1 MECHANICAL …

Rate-and-state friction (RSF) is commonly used for the characterisation of laboratory friction
experiments, such as velocity-step tests. However, the RSF framework provides little …

Frictional instabilities along tectonic faults produce a full spectrum of slip behaviors including
aseismic creep, slow earthquakes, and regular earthquakes. Thermally controlled rock …

Pyrite is the most common authigenic mineral preserved in many ancient sedimentary rocks.
Pyrite also widely exists in the Longmaxi and Wufeng marine shales in the middle Yangtze …

Frictional sliding plays a fundamental role in the mechanics of ice, on scales small and
large. Whether across opposing faces of microcracks within laboratory specimens, across …

New measurements have been made of the friction coefficient of freshwater polycrystalline
ice sliding slowly (5× 10− 8 to 1× 10− 3 ms− 1) upon itself at temperatures from 98 to 263 K …

Mid-crustal deformation is classically characterized by the transition from ductile to brittle
deformation defining the frictional-to-viscous transition (FVT). Here we investigate an …

Establishing a constitutive law for fault friction is a crucial objective of earthquake science.
However, the complex frictional behavior of natural and synthetic gouges in laboratory …

We present results from a comprehensive laboratory study of the frictional strength and
constitutive properties for all three active strands of the San Andreas Fault penetrated in the …

We report ring shear experiments on simulated calcite fault gouges performed at fixed
temperatures (T) within the range from 20° C to 600° C. The experiments were performed …
