About this document

Mechanical Properties of Methane-Propane Hydrate by Philip Sargent is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) The document estimates the mechanical properties of methane and propane hydrate deposits using an "isomechanical classes of materials" technique, comparing hydrate properties to water ice properties. 2) Hydrate and ice are estimated to fall into the same isomechanical class due to their similar hydrogen bonding, though hydrate has a lower density. Hydrate elastic moduli are estimated at 78% of ice values. 3) Estimates place hydrate shear modulus at 2.36 GPa at 13C, roughly 80% as strong as ice, with
