Contactless probing of polycrystalline methane hydrate at pore scale suggests weaker tensile properties than thought
International audience Methane hydrate is widely distributed in the pores of marine sediments or permafrost soils,contributing to their mechanical properties. Yet the tensile properties of the hydrate at porescales remain almost completely unknown, notably the influence of grain size on its owncohes...
