Anisotropic Elastic Properties of Montmorillonite With Different Layer Charge Densities and Layer Charge Distributions Through Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Abstract:The knowledge of the anisotropic elastic properties of clay minerals is of crucial importance for the exploration and development of shale oil and gas. Montmorillonite (MMT) is a common natural clay mineral with different layer charge densities and layer charge distributions due to different geological conditions. Therefore, it is important to understand the currently poorly known effect of layer charge density and layer charge distribution on the anisotropic elastic properties of MMTs. This work aims to obtai… Show more
