The influence of low temperature on longitudinal wave velocity, uniaxial compression strength, tensile strength, peak strain, secant modulus, and acoustic emission characteristics of yellow sandstones was studied. The results show that the secant modulus increases with decreasing temperature when the axial strain is less than 0.6%, and a contrary influence performs for the subsequent stage due to the fracture of the pore ice. With the decrease in temperature, the uniaxial compression strength first increases and then remains at a relatively constant value of 34.44 MPa at about -40°C while the temperature ranges from -40°C to -70°C. The tensile strength shows an approximate linear increment as the temperature. The peak strain gradually increases with temperature in a three-stage piecewise linear form, and the increasing rate gradually decreases with the decreasing temperature. The phase transformation from liquid water at a temperature of 20°C to solid ice at a temperature of -3°C significantly increases the longitudinal wave velocity from 1.55 km/s to 3.36 km/s. When the temperature is lower than -10°C, the longitudinal wave velocity approximately increases linearly at a rate of 2.67 × 10 − 3   km / s · ° C − 1 with decreasing temperature.

AbstractThe derivation of geomechanical properties from petrophysical/geophysical data is not only of great importance in the oil industry but also in mining, geothermal projects and tunnelling, for reduction of costs and to improve security. For the oil industry and geothermal sector, it is mainly important for drilling rate and the stability of the borehole and, as a result, the economic factor. A key issue is that geomechanical properties, which can support a better planning of a project, cannot be measured in the borehole or on the surface directly. In this study, the focus is put on anisotropic effects on the correlation between static and dynamic properties, which is neglected in most studies but important because values can vary extremely. Therefore, measurements in the geotechnical laboratory of compressional and shear wave velocity during uniaxial compression strength test were taken. Additionally, typical properties like bulk and grain density as well as porosity were determined too. Different samples (carbonate–silica schist, marble and phyllite) from the "Zentrum am Berg"-research tunnelling centre at the "Erzberg" in Austria were used. Shown are correlations between uniaxial compression strength and compressional wave velocity as well as for static and dynamic Young’s modulus including their anisotropic effect. The results are promising and provide an opportunity for further applications on log data.

Mullite material is a material commonly used in honeycomb regenerator, because in the process of using material under big temperature difference effect, so have a great demand for its thermal shock resistance. The used mullite ceramics were made by the direct solid phase sintering method, and the modulus of elasticity of the mullite ceramics measured by ultrasonic pulse-echo method in a thermal shock and thermal fatigue experiment, respectively. In the air-cooling condition, the study found the mullite ceramic without thermal shock that the longitudinal wave velocity and shear wave velocity respectively 3970(m/s) and 2492(m/s). After 45 times thermal shock of temperature difference of 800°C, longitudinal wave velocity and shear wave velocity decreased to 3910(m/s) and 2457(m/s), and the value of the modulus of elasticity changed 1020MPa. By observing the change of the elastic modulus value rule, can know the elastic deformation of thermal shock on the material performance of thermal shock damage. Moreover, the results can provide the data basis for the calculation of the residual strength and the numerical simulation of thermal stress.

Concerned with the longitudinal wave velocity changes under plastic deformation in pure shear state, the experimental results of longitudinal wave velocity are categorized to two types: (i) simple decreasing change tendency at polished surface specimens, and (ii) chaotic change tendency at unpolished surface specimens. In the present paper, the effects of surface roughness and crystal orientation on the amount of cross slip under plastic deformation are studied via finite element polycrystal model (FEPM) from the viewpoint of longitudinal wave velocity change showing a sensitive response to the point defects caused by cross slip.
