Failure mode transition in Opalinus Clay: a hydro-mechanical and microstructural perspective

<p>The way rocks deform under changing stress conditions can be described by different deformation modes, which is fundamental for understanding their rheology. For Opalinus Clay, which is regarded as a potential host rock for nuclear waste, we investigate the failure mode as a function of app...
