Tensile Strength of Serpentinized Harzburgite
Authors: Asem Pouyan , Bažant Zdenek P. , Matter Juerg , Labuz Joseph F.
Published: August 2024

Ultramafic rocks play an active role in geologic processes including the carbon cycle and serpentinization reactions. Many of these processes accompany mineral transformations that result in volume increase of the product phase (e.g. serpentinization, carbonation). Accommodation of changes in volume is often associated with formation of fracture surfaces as new minerals form. Thus, fracture properties such as tensile strength or fracture toughness are of interest in analyses of volumetric deformation during mineral replacement. Cores extracted from Oman ophiolite were used to measure the tensile strength of the ultramafic matrix. A specimen of serpentinized harzburgite was machined with one notch and used for a three-point bending test within a closed-loop, servo-hydraulic system with crack opening displacement (COD) as the feedback signal to achieve controlled fracture. Acoustic emission (AE) was used to provide additional details on the nature of crack propagation.

1. INTRODUCTION

Coleman (1977) and Evans (2004) argue that an increase in volume during serpentinization of peridotites can be explained by immobility of Mg or Si (i.e. similar MgO/SiO2 ratios between protolith and serpentine equivalents) and formation of brucite. Field evidence of kernel structures (O'Hanley 1992; Evans 2004) is also in favor of volume increase during hydration processes. Hess (1955) suggested hydration of peridotites below the Mohorovicic (Moho) boundary can cause ocean floor rise, where the volume increase is equal to the volume of water added. The reaction describing the formation of serpentine minerals in closed system (constant composition) can be written to conserve Si and Mg as:

(equation)

The reaction in Equation (1), however, requires (i) continuous circulation of hydrothermal fluid in the rock mass, and (ii) access to fresh minerals enabling dissolution and precipitation to move forward. Potential clogging of the fracture network through vein formation, therefore, can stop the processes of serpentinization or carbonation if the hydrothermal fluids carry dissolved inorganic carbon resulting in dihedral angles greater than 60 degrees (Watson and Brenan 1987).

Accommodation of changes in volume is often associated with formation of new fracture surfaces as new minerals form. Thus, fracture properties such as tensile strength or fracture toughness are of interest in analyzing of consequences of volumetric deformation during mineral replacement processes. We designed a suite of experiments to investigate tensile strength of a harzburgite, where evidence for present day serpentinization and volume change has been documented (Evans 2004).

2. THEORY

Formation of fracture surfaces in the matrix surrounding the ultramafic mineral undergoing serpentinization or carbonation and hence volume increase requires local stresses to equal the tensile strength of the matrix. The nominal strength, i.e. nominal stress at peak load, of geometrically similar specimens can be defined as (Bazant and Planas 1998):

Study on Adsorption Characteristics of Micro-Nano Proppants in Fractures and Related Numerical Simulation
Authors: Lu C. , Zhu Q. Y. , Li Y. , Luo C. , Liu T. B.
Published: August 2024

In hydraulic fracturing, micro-nano proppants can easily enter microfractures for support and have strong adsorption properties, so it's very important to explore their adsorption in micro-fracture support. By analyzing the forces of the proppant in fractures, a mathematical model of the microscopic interaction energy between the objects of action was established to calculate the microscopic interaction energy level of hydrophobic micro-nano proppant and water molecules, and then reveal the adsorption process of micro-nano proppant on fracture wall and the competitive adsorption mechanism between the fluid (water). Finally, FLUENT-EDEM was used for numerical simulation verification. The forces of micro-nano proppant in microfractures mainly include fluid drag force, settling force, van der Waals force, electrostatic force and hydrophobic resistance. The competitive adsorption process with water can be divided into three processes: closing to the hydration shell, breaking through the hydration shell and being adsorbed on the wall. To overcome the resistance to break through the hydration shell mainly depends on electrostatic attraction, and being firmly adsorbed on the fracture wall depends on hydrogen bonding. The above research can provide theoretical guidance for the design of micro and nano proppants and the application of effective microfracture support technology.

1. MICRO-NANO PROPPANT

At present, many reservoirs, especially the dense unconventional reservoirs, the fracture size formed after fracturing is very small, even up to the micron, nanometer level. Conventional proppant particle sizes are unable to enter induced and naturally occurring microfractures, so the microfractures close, reducing the conductivity of the reservoir fracture network and inhibiting its extension and expansion. To achieve effective fracture support, micro-nano proppants can be used.

Micro and nano proppants were first defined by Bose (2015) in sizes ranging from 100 nm to 1mm. Guo et al. (2022) defined it as less than 140 mesh proppant, while most defined it as less than 100 mesh proppant (Calvin et al. 2017; Danso et al. 2021). Micro-nano proppants are usually SiO2, small in size and light in weight. Scholars (Khanna et al. 2013; Keshavarz et al. 2014; Dahl et al. 2015; Li et al. 2020) have proved through experiments that micro-nano proppants can enter micro-fractures for effective support. Dahl et al. (2015) used ESEM microscopy to capture microproppant clusters or aggregates adhering to shale fracture surfaces, forming partial monolayers. This shows that micro-nano proppants have adsorption properties during migration in fractures, so it is of great significance to study the adsorption properties of micro-nano proppants for their application in oilfield.
Strategic Design and Analysis of Yielding Pillars: A Case Study from Deep Underground Mining at Vale's Copper Cliff Mine
Authors: McBride M.
Published: August 2024

The process of modelling and design of a yielding pillar is a common necessity in rock mechanics as applied to deep underground mines. There are numerous reasons to design a pillar to yield. A large-scale example would be the convergence of two mining fronts, with the goal of managing the yielding of the merge zone and minimizing worker exposure to the yielding stress front. A stope-scale example would be in the typical primary-secondary stope mining sequence, where secondary stopes are intentionally left behind to support an ever-increasing stress-load. As the leading primary stopes are mined, the secondary stopes eventually yield, which are then mined under relatively low-stress, aseismic conditions.

In this analysis, a small-scale example of a yielding pillar will be modelled and compared to results from three case studies. When preparing a stope for production blasting, it is common to take long-wall slashes in the bottom sill. This is generally intended to open the bottom of the stope to its full floor area, increasing the void available for the initial production blast, and allowing ITH drill holes to break-through into the back, which can then be surveyed. These surveyed breakthrough holes allow for greater control and quality assurance during production blasting. Finally, the long-wall slashes increase the recovery rate for the stope block since the blasted walls represent ore that would otherwise be left behind as a pillar.

All three case studies presented are taken from Vale's Copper Cliff Mine, at a depth of 5,130 ft. The rockmass is quartz diabase of approximately 138 MPa uniaxial compressive strength and with blocky structure, but good quality (Approximately 90 rock quality designation). The long-wall slashes range in their cut depth between 10-14 ft and are blasted against pre-existing 20-22 ft stable rib pillars that separate the parallel orebody crosscuts. All three case studies are from stopes in the same area of the mine and therefore share a similar in-situ primary stress of 70 MPa. However, the overall geometries are different in each case. A Map3D model based on a linear-elastic constitutive model was used to characterize pillar average stress. The pillar dimensions were then compared using the Lunder & Pakalnis (1997) empirical method. All three cases have been discussed with reference to these two design methodologies and the actual pillar behavior in each case is compared to those predicted results.

The results show that the employed design methodologies are adequate for the purpose of this application and accord with site experience regarding pillar performance in this small-scale scenario.

Published: August 2024

Employing CO2 as a fracturing fluid could effectively limit the hydration swelling of clay minerals and reduce the damage to conglomerate reservoirs. The gravel particles increase the heterogeneity of conglomerate, making fracture propagation more complex than in sandstone and shale. True triaxial fracturing experiments were performed using artificial conglomerates. The initiation pressure, fracture morphology and fracture surface characteristics were analyzed. Studies showed that the heterogeneity of the conglomerate greatly affected fracture initiation and propagation. Compared with hydraulic fracturing, CO2 fracturing has significant advantages, such as degrading initiation pressure and creating more complex fractures. The fracture induced by CO2 mostly appeared as deflection, making the fracture surface rougher. The stress difference greatly influenced the fracture propagation. As the stress difference grew, the fracture morphology shifted from complex to simple, and the expansion mode shifted from deflection to penetration. Increasing the injection rate can lead to a more balanced fracture propagation. However, large injection rates lead to higher initiation pressure. Research results are expected to provide a theoretical basis for CO2 fracturing and help promote the integration of conglomerate reservoir exploitation and CO2 storage.

1. INTRODUCTIONS

Mahu conglomerate oil reservoir is by far the world's first whole conglomerate oil field with huge resource potential (Hou et al., 2018). Since 2015, the development method of volumetric fracturing has been adopted to realize effective mobilization (Rafieepour et al., 2020, Lin et al., 2022, Zhang et al., 2024a, and Zhang et al., 2024b). But the single well EUR of some sensitive reservoirs is low and the annual decline rate is large. The analysis results show that one of the reasons for the faster decline in production and pressure is the high content of water-sensitive minerals in the reservoir rock, which soften in contact with water and cause high damage to permeability (Xv et al., 2019). Therefore, CO2 is considered as a fracturing medium to explore the low-injury fracturing mode without or with less water (Shen et al., 2010, Wang et al., 2012).
Numerical Prediction of Thermo-Mechanical Spalling Around a Deep Nuclear Waste Repository in Crystalline Rock

Published: August 2024

The focus of this study is on stress-driven rock damage potentially developing around the tunnels and deposition boreholes of a planned underground nuclear waste repository at the Forsmark site in Sweden. This type of damage is commonly referred to as "spalling" or "brittle failure". In hard, crystalline rocks, such as those at the Forsmark site, spalling typically manifests itself in the form of extensional (Mode I) cracking parallel to the excavation boundaries followed by buckling of thin rock flakes. During the construction phase of the repository, mechanical spalling may be induced by overstressing (under unconfined conditions) of the excavation surface periphery. During the operational phase, thermal spalling may develop due to additional thermo-elastic stresses forming in response to the increasing rock mass temperature field induced by the heat-emitting spent nuclear fuel. Since rock failure may negatively affect the long-term isolation properties of the host rock within the multi-barrier disposal concept to be adopted at the Forsmark site, prediction of its occurrence, location, and extent is critical for an effective repository design and long-term safety. In this study, the response of underground structures was studied using Geomechanica's Irazu software, which is novel 3D coupled thermo-mechanical simulator based on the finite-discrete element method (FDEM). It is the first numerical study to date that explicitly captures both mechanical and thermal fracturing processes while using the latest repository design and site-specific geomechanical input data. A sensitivity study is performed to investigate different combinations of rock mechanical properties, in-situ stresses, and deposition tunnel geometry on the host rock behaviour. Rock mass deconfinement is shown to promote the development of tensile damage in the tunnel sidewalls and floor with fracture surfaces growing parallel to the excavation boundaries. The negative effects deriving from the adoption of a relatively narrower tunnel cross-section and from an increase of horizontal in-situ stresses are highlighted. Thermo-mechanical analyses capture the rock mass behaviour following an increase of borehole surface temperature to 100°C. Numerical results indicate that the temperature evolution is affected by the shape of the underground cavities and their distance from the heated boreholes. The coupled thermal expansion of the rock induces additional stresses which, in turn, promotes further damage. Despite this increase, however, the total amount of induced rock damage at final conditions remains relatively low.

Published: August 2024

Fiber optic technologies such as distributed temperature sensing, distributed strain sensing and distributed acoustic sensing are becoming increasingly commercially available for rock mechanics and soil mechanics studies. However, for applications that require reliable quantitative mapping of subsurface saturation or ice content, these strain or seismic methods must often be augmented with electrical and magnetic methods. Some examples include monitoring the role of saturation in slope stability, as well as geomechanical monitoring in permafrost regions (e.g. for well integrity or infrastructure). Our team has developed novel fiber optic distributed magnetic sensing fibers, which include embedded rods of materials that expand in the presence of magnetic fields, a change known as magnetostriction. These fibers include a single mode core, so they can be connected end-to-end with standard fiber optics, and measured using the same distributed acoustic sensing optical interrogator unit. This talk will cover the design, manufacturing, and practical use of these fibers with multiple magnetostrictive materials embedded. We will show theoretical and numerical models of the fiber response that explain features observed in controlled laboratory experiments, as well as techniques (e.g. Bragg gratings) to improve sensitivity. We will show some initial field trial results and potential deployment styles for multi-physics fiber optic sensing as we move forwards.

Re-Visioning Ethnography Through Meditative Practice: The Proposal for a Contemplative Anthropology and Its Experience through Visual Elicitation Technique
Authors: Divino Federico
Published: August 2024

This article introduces a novel method presently in development that integrates ethnography and visual elicitation techniques to explore meditative experiences and investigate consciousness. Central to this method is the utilization of mandala-like images as a means to capture the dynamic evolution of consciousness during contemplative practices. The utilization of mandala drawings has been extensively developed in psychological study inspired by the work of C. G. Jung. In this study, I will elaborate on how this methodology has been adapted to suit the needs of qualitative ethnographic research within the framework of a visual elicitation methodology tailored to studies on meditative practices. This article provides an illustrative case study that scrutinizes the method’s potential applications and contributions within the domain of anthropological research on contemplative practices. The study critically examines the method’s historical evolution, signifying a notable shift in ethnographic focus toward meditation, and probes the dissolution of subjectivity boundaries that is inherent in meditative contexts. The research methodology is rooted in fundamental principles emphasizing participants’ direct experiences in meditation, the iterative construction of multistage mandalas, and a purposeful departure from conventional artistic norms during the drawing process. The present case study serves as an illustrative portrayal of the visual data derived from meditation sessions, offering insights into the transformative nature of contemplative experiences.
Methodology for Identifying Models of Marking Relationships of Intertextuality and Interdiscursivity in the Artistic Dimension
Authors: Zhalko Dina
Published: August 2024

This article presents a comprehensive methodology for identifying models of marking intertextuality and interdiscursivity in the artistic dimension, focusing on their interrelationships in contemporary literary and linguistic analysis. The study explores how texts interact through quotations, allusions, and reminiscences, creating complex networks of meanings and interpretations. It integrates Julia Kristeva's concept of intertextuality, which emphasizes the interaction of texts, and Michel Foucault's concept of interdiscursivity, highlighting the intersections of different discourses within a single text. The methodology employs intertextual and interdisciplinary analysis, using a fragment from J. Barnes's "A History of the World in 10½ Chapters" as a case study. This approach reveals the layered narrative structures formed through historical and literary allusions and various discourses, such as religion, politics, and culture. By examining these interactions, the study uncovers how texts and discourses influence readers and speakers, enriching the understanding of literary and linguistic creativity in contemporary cultural contexts. The methodology also introduces a hierarchical framework—artistic mega-intertext/mega-interdiscourse, macro-intertext/macro-interdiscourse, micro-intertext/micro-interdiscourse, and media-intertext/media-interdiscourse—to accurately define models of marking intertextuality and interdiscursivity. This framework serves as a crucial tool for researchers, facilitating the identification of direct and indirect markers within texts and discourses. The study's findings highlight the importance of recognizing intertextual and interdiscursive connections for a deeper comprehension of the nature of artistic and linguistic processes.

This paper uses generalized method of moments (GMM) panel estimator, proposed by Arellano-Bond and Blundell-Bond, to examine the relationship between FDI and environment for the period of 2000-2010 for a sample of 16 emerging countries. The effect of financial development, institutional quality and macroeconomic policy related variables are controlled for from the macroeconomic literature. The OLS based regression results reveal that environmental quality is not significant in explaining FDI inflows in emerging countries. However, based on dynamic panel data analysis, environmental quality is significant in explaining FDI. Using a number of controls it is found that stock market capitalisation to GDP, gross saving to GDP, gross capital stock to GDP, market size , and economic freedom (institutional quality) exercised by the host countries are important determinants in FDI inflows. However, the influence of such determinants is mixed in direction and magnitude at different significance levels. Thus, climate change and its mitigation strategy and overall environment policy have important implications for attracting FDI in the countries in question. In addition, the results highlight the role of institutional quality and financial development in attracting FDI.

Sebalik village is a village located in a water area with the potential to raise laying ducks. In fact, selling duck eggs has quite a high potential for interest because they have a lot of nutrition and fresh duck eggs are rarely found in many places, unlike chicken eggs. On the other hand, for egg-laying duck breeders, marketing and distribution of duck eggs is still an obstacle in egg-laying duck farming because if they are not sold, egg-laying duck breeders cannot generate additional income to support the family economy. From the results of the interviewed it was discovered that laying duck breeders did not know about marketing management as evidenced by the lack of knowledge regarding brands, sales distribution channels and other management functions in marketing. For this reason, marketing management training is carried out. The training was held for one day with 30 participants. From the results of this training, laying duck breeders gained knowledge regarding marketing management and continued with discussions by deepening the obstacles faced when marketing duck eggs by duck egg breeders. Pre-test and post-test were carried out. From the post test results it was found that laying duck breeders already knew and were able to explain marketing management for their duck eggs

Insulin and glucagon, hormones secreted by the pancreas, regulate blood glucose, the main source of energy for cells. Insulin facilitates glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis, whereas glucagon increases blood glucose by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the fasting state. An increase in blood glucose above normal over a long period of time can cause diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes among the elderly in Indonesia is 6.2%, with a projected increase to 12 million cases by 2030. The causes include genetic factors, aging, unhealthy eating patterns, a lack of movement, and comorbidities such as obesity and hypertension. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) method, which aims to carry out blood glucose checks as an early detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The Hana Nursing Home in South Tangerang hosted this activity, which involved 61 participants. The results of the blood glucose examination showed that 15 people (24.58%) had diabetes and 33 people (54.1%) had pre-diabetes. Early detection and effective management are essential to prevent complications and maintain functional status.
