This research aims to evaluate how chemical corrosion alters pore structure, thereby impacting the Young’s modulus of rocks.
Conducted multiscale experiments to study the effects of acid-driven corrosion on pore structure.
Utilized Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to analyze pore structure evolution during corrosion.
Developed a Kinetic Weibull Modulus model and other frameworks to quantify porosity and pore size heterogeneity.
Chemical corrosion increases pore size heterogeneity, evolving nonlinearly with reaction kinetics.
Both porosity and heterogeneity degrade Young’s modulus, with heterogeneity amplifying porosity’s weakening effect.
Validated predictive framework demonstrates significantly altered mechanical behavior of rocks due to corrosion.
