Effects of supercritical CO2, water, and supercritical CO2-based water on the mechanical properties and fracturability of shale by Qiao Lyu, Jinghong Deng, Yijun Shen, Yonggang Ding, Yushuai Shi, Gan Feng, Jingqiang Tan

“…The key findings are as follows: (1) Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of shale decreased by 10.72%, 11.95%, and 23.67% at 15 MPa, and by 42.40%, 46.84%, and 51.65% at 45 MPa after immersion in ScCO2, DW, and ScCO2+DW, respectively, with the most pronounced effect observed in ScCO2+DW; (2) Microstructural analysis revealed that while ScCO2 and DW do not significantly alter the microstructure, immersion in ScCO2+DW results in a more complex surface morphology; (3) Acoustic emission (AE) analysis indicates a reduction in stress for crack damage, with a decreased fractal dimension of AE signals in different fluids. …”

Pressure-Amplified Structural Superiority in Silty Clays: Dynamic Divergence Between Undisturbed and Remolded States by Jinhu Hu, Banglong Zhou, Penggang Li, Jing Wang, Yayuan Yang

“…The experimental results reveal that: (1) Undisturbed soils exhibit 20–30% higher maximum shear stress (<i>τ_dmax</i>) and shear modulus (<i>G_dmax</i>) than remolded counterparts at 300 kPa, far exceeding the <5% deviation at 50 kPa due to enhanced particle-cementation synergy under pressure. (2) The normalized shear modulus ratio (<i>G_d</i>/<i>G_dmax</i>) exhibits low sensitivity to confining pressure, with <i>G_d</i>/<i>G_dmax</i>–<i>γ_d</i> relationship curves predominantly confined within a narrow band range. …”
