Wiggly compaction bands in porous aeolian sandstone vary from chevron shape to wavy
shape to nearly straight. In some outcrops these variations occur along a single band. A …

One of the most celebrated contributions to the study of the mechanical behavior of materials
is due to JD Eshelby, who in the late 50s revolutionized our understanding of the elastic …

Raman elastic thermobarometry has recently been applied in many petrological studies to
recover the pressure-temperature (PT) conditions of mineral inclusion entrapment. Existing …

Tunnel linings installed in difficult geological conditions characterized by a high expansion
potential, such as Opalinus Clay and rocks containing anhydrite, may exhibit a loss of …

Typical parallel fractures are often observed in the outcrops of inclusions in the field. To
reveal the failure mechanism of inclusions embedded in rock matrix, a series of …

Stylolites are surfaces of localized dissolution, ubiquitous in sedimentary rocks. They belong
to a family of sub-planar defects caused by localized volume reduction (LVR), alongside …

I present an open source code Esh3D that evaluates the quasi‐static elastic displacement
and stress fields perturbed by ellipsoidal inclusions, known as the Eshelby solution. The …

Geometry, geostatistics and microstructures of two sets of high-angle compaction bands
within Aztec Sandstone are investigated for the purpose of characterizing their dimensions …

I present a new development of an open source code Esh3D in solving interacting Eshelby's
inhomogeneity problems in whole, half, and finite spaces. The code resolves the interaction …

Ellipsoidal polymer particles can be prepared from spheres by unidirectional stretching at
elevated temperatures, while the particles' aspect ratios (AR) that result from this phantom …
