Summary
In this chapter, we continue to explore the mechanical properties of unconventional reservoir rocks by considering deformation mechanisms active at various stress and strain conditions. Specifically, we will focus on rock strength – the stress required for brittle failure of intact rock – and ductility – the time-dependent (viscous) strain response as a function of stress.
