Earth Material Testing TRIZ Cases
- Carbonate Texture Porosity Prediction Using Grain-Fraction Regression
Texture-specific grain fractions and reference-sample regression improve porosity estimates across heterogeneous carbonate formations.
- Parallel Flow Core Sample Holder for Simultaneous Testing
Dedicated inlets and outlets let parallel sleeves test multiple core samples simultaneously, reducing time and cost.
- Rock Matrix and Fracture Permeability Using Multi-Frequency Elastic Waves
Estimate matrix and fracture permeability from elastic wave velocities, density, and porosity for reservoir flow simulation.
- Porous Medium Parameter Measurement Device With Gas-Purging Polymer
Air intrusion can distort soil water tension readings; a permeable structure purges gases for stable, accurate measurement.
- Submarine Landslide Rheology Modeling With Shear-Time Thixotropy
Steady shear and thixotropy testing build a rheological model that captures time-dependent viscosity in submarine landslide mass.
- Geological Sample Density Analysis Using X-Ray Volume Mapping
X-ray transmission, fluorescence, and weighing combine to measure drill-core density and composition while accounting for internal voids.
- Field-Portable LIBS Soil UCS Estimation with Machine Learning
Portable LIBS combines soil spectra, bulk density, and water content to estimate UCS across varied soil types.
- Directional Cosmogenic Neutron Sensors for Local Soil Moisture
Directional shielding blocks overhead and wide-area neutrons, enabling local soil moisture measurement with simpler calibration.
- In-Situ Soil Carbon Measurement Using UV Photo-Oxidation
A gas-permeable soil probe uses UV photo-oxidation and CO2 sensing to distinguish carbon sources and reduce measurement time.
- Surface Gamma Ray Calibration of Cuttings Depth in UBCTD
Surface and downhole gamma readings validate cuttings depth when multiphase flow makes fluid-velocity estimates unreliable.
