Triaxial permeability testing and microstructure study of hard–to–drain coal from Sydney Basin, Australia

Several mines operating in the Bulli seam of the Sydney Basin, Australia have coal seam zones that are difficult to drain. Metropolitan Colliery being one of such mines, has experienced difficulties in reducing gas content within the available drainage lead time; as the coal seam would not drain even with additional drainage boreholes. A research study using coal permeability testing and ...

Effects of Shear Band Formation in Triaxial Extension Tests

The stress-strain and strength behavior from conventional triaxial extension tests is usually erratic due to excessive influence of necking in the hardening regime followed by shear banding. Two ...

Magnetometer Cone

A magnetometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field. The Earth’s magnetic field (the so magnetosphere) varies from place to place, for various reasons such as inhomogeneity of rocks and the interaction between charged particles from the Sun and the magnetosphere. A mass of ferromagnetic material creates a detectable disturbance in ...
