The progressive shear failure of a rock mass under hydromechanical coupling is a key aspect of the long-term stability of deeply buried, high fluid pressure diversion tunnels. In this study, we use experimental and numerical analysis to quantify the permeability variations that occur in an intact marble sample as it evolves from shear failure to shear slip under different confining pressures and fluid pressures. The experimental results reveal that at low effective normal stress, the fracture permeability is positively correlated with the shear displacement. The permeability is lower at higher effective normal stress and exhibits an episodic change with increasing shear displacement. After establishing a numerical model based on the point cloud data generated by the three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning of the fracture surfaces, we found that there are some contact areas that block the percolation channels under high effective stress conditions. This type of contact area plays a key role in determining the evolution of the fracture permeability in a given rock sample.

Integrated microfluidic systems afford extensive benefits for chemical and biological fields, yet traditional, monolithic methods of microfabrication restrict the design and assembly of truly complex systems. Here, a simple, reconfigurable and high fluid pressure modular microfluidic system is presented. The screw interconnects reversibly assemble each individual microfluidic module together. Screw connector provided leak-free fluidic communication, which could withstand fluid resistances up to 500 kPa between two interconnected microfluidic modules. A sample library of standardized components and connectors manufactured using 3D printing was developed. The capability for modular microfluidic system was demonstrated by generating sodium alginate gel microspheres. This 3D printed modular microfluidic system makes it possible to meet the needs of the end-user, and can be applied to bioassays, material synthesis, and other applications.
