Experimental characterisation of shear and compaction band mechanisms in porous sandstone by a combination of AE and 3D-DIC

Shear and compaction bands represent two fundamental failure modes in sandstones. The identification of these features in both the natural outcrops and the laboratory scale yields useful insights into the mechanisms of localised deformation. Several conventional and advanced experimental full-fie...
