Abstract: The tangential contact stiffness of cylindrical asperities is investigated using macroand micromechanisms in this study. A microanalysis model is developed and the tangential contact stiffness of elliptically parabolic ...

Abstract: Rock microstructure changes after hydrochemical reactions, which, in turn, leads to deterioration of mechanical properties. Thus, a quantification study on rock microstructural damage after chemical corrosion is necessary. ...
