Occupational Health and Safety Risk Analysis for Oil Shale
The potential human health and environmental risks of a hypothetical one-million-barrels- per-day oil shale industry have been analyzed to serve as... -
Applications of remote sensing techniques to geology
Remote sensing is a new emerging field of technological development and has made a very significant impact on the geological surveys and studies. The...

Modelling and Development of Hydraulic Fracturing Technology
The technology of underground fracturing has come to a central position in the areas of oil, gas, other minerals and heat extraction from the earth.... -
Physical Principles of Prediction of Heterogeneous Material Fracture
A general possibility of predicting the fracture of solids is revealed by the concept of fracture as a thermal activation process taking place in a... -
An electromagnetic shear-stress gage for large-amplitude shear waves
In many materials, especially plastics, ceramics and rocks, large-amplitude shear-wave propagation studies could provide valuable information for the...

Model Simulation of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures
The model simulation of reinforced concrete at reduced scale for ζ=1 does not normally pose particularly complex problems. -
Mechanics and Rheology of Wood
Elasticity means that deformations produced in a solid body by low stresses are completely recovered after unloading. The elastic properties are... -
Study of the micro-mechanical behaviour of concrete using reflective photoelasticity
Tests are reported to study the micro-mechanical behaviour of concrete using a photoelastic reflection technique to determine the internal and bond...
