Acoustic Emissions Testing
Acoustic emissions testing provides a nondestructive means of accurately characterizing the properties of rock core specimens under triaxial test conditions. After in situ conditions are reproduced, changes in loads, confining pressures, pore pressures and ...
Direct Shear Testing
<p>Direct shear testing studies the boundary conditions of natural (or artificially induced) faults or joints in fractured rocks, including cylindrical core samples and prismatic specimens. Typically, a specimen shear box holds the rock sample while a biaxial ...
Direct Tensile Testing
<p>Direct tensile testing is an essential part of geological studies. Subjecting cylindrical rock specimens to direct tensile forces reveals ultimate yield strength and resistance to failure under various tensile loads, which enables more accurate determination ...
Fracture Toughness Testing
Fracture toughness is a measure of a material's ability to resist fracture in the presence of a crack. Fracture toughness tests generally require a specimen that contains a pre-existing crack, often generated by fatigue pre-cracking. For specimens where the ...
Indirect Tensile Testing
<p>Indirect tensile testing of rock, also known as the Brazilian Test, provides an alternative to direct tensile testing, producing tensile failure in the end faces of cylindrical rock samples by subjecting these specimens to compressive force along their ...
Triaxial Testing
Triaxial testing provides realistic simulations of in situ rock properties. By subjecting small specimens to axial and lateral stress plus high temperatures, triaxial testing helps predict how the entire rock mass will respond to changes in load, stress, displacements, ...
