Acoustic emission and compaction creep of quartz sand at subcritical stress /

Time-dependent fluid-assisted mechanisms such as stress-induced dissolution and subcritical crack growth play an important role in porosity reduction and compaction of granular material in nature. Previous compaction creep experiments on loosely packed, well-rounded quartz sand at subcritical effec...
