S. Gentier et al., IMAGES AND MODELING OF THE HYDROMECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF A FRACTURE, Microscopy microanalysis microstructures, 7(5-6), 1996, pp. 513-519
Understanding the hydromechanical behavior of fractures is a fundament
al research issue because of the need to understand the effects of hum
an engineering in fractured rock masses. The research presented in thi
s paper is based on the use of image processing to determine the relat
ionships between fracture geometry and hydromechanical behavior.
