Many of the earliest laboratory studies of the brittle-ductile transition were on porous rocks,
with a focus on the evolution of failure mode from brittle faulting to cataclastic flow with …

Geoscientists are confronted with the challenge of assessing nonlinear phenomena that
result from multiphysics coupling across multiple scales from the quantum level to the scale …

With elevated confining pressure and low temperatures, geomaterials may exhibit brittle-to-
ductile failure transition due to increased cataclastic flow. In this work, we propose a …

Compaction bands are tabular regions of localized compressive deformation with little or no
shear offset. Often observed in high‐porosity rocks, they can be classified into several …

This is the first of two papers introducing a novel thermomechanical continuum constitutive
model for cemented granular materials. Here, we establish the theoretical foundations of the …

Compaction bands are tabular zones of localized compressive deformation associated with
porosity and permeability reduction. Depending on their orientation, compaction bands can …

A new formula is proposed for the end-bearing capacity of piles penetrating into crushable
soils. The formula is based on a breakage mechanics model that accounts for the evolution …

We present a multiscale investigation on the initiation and development of compaction
bands in high-porosity sandstones based on an innovative hierarchical multiscale approach …

The modes of formation of clastic rocks result in a wide variety of microstructures, from poorly‐
sorted heterogeneous rocks to well‐sorted and nominally homogeneous rocks. The …

Certain rock properties that depend on intergranular fracture and frictional sliding appear to
be independent of rock type. This relationship is true for the rock-on-rock frictional sliding …
