The Characteristic and Distribution of Shale Micro-Brittleness Based on Nanoindentation

Shale is a special kind of rock mass and it is particularly important to evaluate its brittleness for the extraction of gas and oil from nanoporous shale. The current brittleness studies are mostly macro-evaluation methods, and there is a lack of a micro-brittleness index that is based on nanoindent...
