    Closing Remarks

    This book gave an introduction into the thermo-mechanical modelling of rock salt in general, and of gas storage in salt caverns in particular. There are many topics that were not discussed here but that are ve...

    Simulating Gas Storage in Salt Caverns

    Salt caverns are artificial cavities in salt formations, which are usually used for long-term storage of hydrocarbons such as black oil or natural gas. At least two facilities, located in MacIntosh, USA (Power...

    Basics of Thermomechanics and Inelasticity

    Rock salt can undergo large inelastic deformations over extended periods of time. Many analyses, however, refer to time intervals and mechanical loads that cause deformations for which the small-strain assumpt...
