From rock microstructure to macromechanical properties based on fractal dimensions
Basic rock mechanical parameters, that is, the uniaxial compressive strength σ c and elastic modulus E , have close relationships with the fractal dimension and inhomogeneity. Scanning electronic microscopy and fractal dimension calculations are applied to four different rock types (mudstone, sandst...
