Predicting the Mechanical and Fracture Properties of Mars Analog Sedimentary Lithologies

Predicting the Mechanical and Fracture Properties of Mars Analog Sedimentary Lithologies

Abstract Rock fractures and veins have been well documented by the Curiosity rover in the lithologies within Gale crater, Mars, and an understanding of the rock mechanical properties of Mars analog samples will improve our capabilities to predict fracture formation conditions (e.g., burial depth and...
