Chris, there are indeed obvious differences. However, typically in leak-off tests you are applying pressure to a relatively small area, maybe inside a cylinder 6ft long and 1ft in diameter (you might typically drill 2m of new formation below the casing shoe prior to the test). The rock is however

Hi Carl- For the most part, breakup characteristics don't correlate well with either size or material. I think it's largely a matter of the bulk properties of the meteoroid- how monolithic versus faulted it is- and any material can exist on a wide range between those extremes. For the most p

Hi John- I don't doubt that there are analogs between the fracturing you describe at the bottom of a well and what happens with a meteor. However, there may be some fundamental material differences. The rock at the bottom of the well is typically very large compared with the area where pressur

Chris, Working on oil and gas wells it is routine to test the fracture point of the rock at the bottom of the well after having run and cemented a casing string (leak off test). You do this by shutting in the well at surface and pumping incremental volumes of mud into the hole and noting the rise

Hi Chris, Do you have any references you could point me to for how break-up scales with size-mass-physical properties etc. of meteoroids. I am interested in knowing the "sweet-spot" for yielding meteorites on the ground. In other words, when is a meteoroid too small or too big to produce significa

A body larger than about a centimeter transfers its kinetic energy to other forms primarily by compressing the air in front of it as it descends into the atmosphere. The pressure involved is typically very large- tens or hundreds of megapascals for meter-class bodies. Once this ram pressure exc
