In this overview we report results of analysing induced seismicity in geothermal reservoirs in
various tectonic settings within the framework of the European Geothermal Engineering …

This article reviews laboratory experimental studies on hydraulic fracturing under triaxial and
true triaxial stress conditions in crystalline rock for geothermal purposes, and places …

Hydraulic fracturing has been widely used to enhance reservoir permeability during the
extraction of shale gas. As one of the external input parameters, injection rate has a …

The shear behavior of backfill-rock composites is crucial for mine safety and the
management of surface subsidence. For exposing the shear failure mechanism of backfill …

This monograph deals with the part of the field of experimental rock deformation that is
dominated by the phenomena of brittle fracture on one scale or another. Thus a distinction …

The presence of water strongly affects rock properties and would be related to a series of
geological disasters. To understand water saturation effects on the mechanical behavior of …

The microscopic pore structure of sandstone gradually changes under long-term immersion,
resulting in dynamic changes in the mechanical and damage properties of sandstone, which …

The characterization of time‐dependent brittle rock deformation is fundamental to
understanding the long‐term evolution and dynamics of the Earth's crust. The chemical …

This paper aims to investigate the water saturation effects on the thermal infrared radiation
(IRR) characteristics of rock materials during deformation and fracturing processes. Three …

The effect of stress anisotropy on the brittle failure of granite is investigated under uniaxial
compression. Non-standard asymmetric compression tests are performed on cores of Aue …
