Stability Analysis of Salt Cavern Gas Storage Using 2D Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Finite-Element Software

A. Asgari; A. Ramezanzadeh; Seyed M. E. Jalali; B. Brouard

Volume 11, Issue 1 , January 2020, , Pages 77-97

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2019.8357.1715

Abstract
  Ensuring the stability and integrity of underground gas storage salt caverns is a very complicated subject due to the non-linear and time-dependent behavior of rock salts under complicated thermal and mechanical loading conditions. For this reason, pressure and temperature fluctuations in the caverns ...  Read More

New empirical failure criterion for shale

S. Moshrefi; K. Shahriar; A. Ramezanzadeh; K. Goshtasbi

Volume 10, Issue 1 , January 2019, , Pages 287-304

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2017.5871.1401

Abstract
  A new failure criterion was presented to predict the ultimate strength of shale under the triaxial and polyaxial state of stress. A database containing 93 datasets was obtained from the results of the uniaxial, triaxial, polyaxial compressive tests, an indirect tensile test was collected from reliable ...  Read More

Rock Mechanics
Presenting an experimental creep model for rock salt

M. B. Eslami Andargoli; K. Shahriar; A. Ramezanzadeh; K. Goshtasbi

Volume 9, Issue 2 , April 2018, , Pages 441-456

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2018.6527.1472

Abstract
  During the recent decades, the design and construction of underground spaces into rock salt have been particularly regarded for storing petroleum fluids, natural gas, and compressed air energy, and also for disposing nuclear and chemical wastes. The rock salt hosting such spaces will be subjected to ...  Read More

Rock Mechanics
Prediction of ultimate strength of shale using artificial neural network

S. Moshrefi; K. Shahriar; A. Ramezanzadeh; K. Goshtasbi

Volume 9, Issue 1 , January 2018, , Pages 91-105

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2017.5790.1390

Abstract
  A rock failure criterion is very important for prediction of the ultimate strength in rock mechanics and geotechnics; it is determined for rock mechanics studies in mining, civil, and oil wellborn drilling operations. Also shales are among the most difficult to treat formations. Therefore, in this research ...  Read More

Studying empirical correlation between drilling specific energy and geo-mechanical parameters in an oil field in SW Iran

M. Mohammadi Behboud; A. Ramezanzadeh; B. Tokhmechi

Volume 8, Issue 3 , July 2017, , Pages 393-401

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2016.689

Abstract
  Multiplicity of the effective factors in drilling reflects the complexity of the interaction between rock mass and drilling bit, which is followed by the dependence of parameters and non-linear relationships between them. Rock mass or, in other words, the formation intended for drilling, as the drilling ...  Read More

A state-of-the-art review of mechanical rock excavation technologies

A. Ramezanzadeh; M. Hood

Volume 1, Number 1 , January 2010

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2010.4

Abstract
  The first step in mining activities is rock excavation in both mine development and production. Constant pressure for cost reduction and creating an improved/safe work environment for personnel has naturally resulted in increased use of mechanical excavation systems in many mining operations. Also, mechanical ...  Read More
