Grain coating type methane hydrate-bearing sediments along various stress paths is a thesis based on the grain coating.
<h3>What are methane hydrate-bearing sediments?</h3>
The discrete element method (DEM) is used in this study to examine the mechanical characteristics of grain-coating type methane hydrate-bearing sediments (MHBS) under four common compression conditions: triaxial, isotropic, and constant stress ratio, and genuine triaxial.
The DEM contact model takes into account the grain-coating type MHBS particle-scale process. According to the numerical findings, MH saturation and bonding lead to an increase in structural yield stress.
In the compression experiments with a constant stress ratio, the mean stress and volumetric change are greater under lower stress ratios.
The real triaxial compression test's yield envelope and the Lade-Duncan criterion are in good agreement. By altering the size of the Lade-Duncan yield surface, the shear strain contours in the deviatoric plane can be defined.
