    Long-term sinking of nuclear waste canisters in salt formations by low-stress creep at high temperature

    Rock salt has a self-sealing capacity, low permeability, and high thermal conductivity, making it a potential host for heat-generating nuclear waste. The feasibility of nuclear waste disposal within salt forma...

    A mathematical model for fault activation by water injection

    Faults in the host rock that might exist in the vicinity of deep geological repositories for radioactive waste, constitute potential enhanced pathways for radionuclide migration. Several processes might trigge...

    Operator matrix and non-uniqueness of Beltrami–Schaefer stress functions

    Beltrami–Schaefer stress functions are general solutions of the equilibrium equations of an elastic body without body force. In this paper, the representation of the non-uniqueness of these solutions is deduce...

    Non-uniqueness of Beltrami–Schaefer Stress Functions

    Beltrami and Schaefer derived solutions for the equilibrium equations of an elastic objective free of body force, and Gurtin proved that the solutions are complete, i.e., proved that Beltrami–Schaefer stress f...
