Micromechanical controls on the brittle-plastic transition in rocks
Dong Liu, Nicolas Brantut
The rheology of rocks transitions from a localized brittle behaviour to distributed plastic behaviour with increasing pressure and temperature. This brittle-plastic is empirically…
Rupture and afterslip controlled by spontaneous local fluid flow in crustal rock
Frans M. Aben, Nicolas Brantut
Shear rupture and fault slip in crystalline rocks like granite produce large dilation, impacting the spatiotemporal evolution of fluid pressure in the crust during the seismic cycl…
Micromechanics of rock damage and its recovery in cyclic loading conditions
Nicolas Brantut, Léo Petit
Under compressive stress, rock ``damage'' in the form of tensile microcracks is coupled to internal slip on microscopic interfaces, such as preexisting cracks and grain boundaries.…
A high pressure, high temperature gas medium apparatus to measure acoustic velocities during deformation of rock
Christopher Harbord, Nicolas Brantut, Emmanuel David +1
A new set-up to measure acoustic wave velocities through deforming rock samples at high pressures (up to 1000 MPa), temperatures (up to 700C) and differential stress (up to…
