Rheological behaviour of synthetic rocksalt: the interplay between water, dynamic recrystallization and deformation mechanisms

The ductile deformation of rocks in nature can be greatly enhanced by the presence of water. Part of the water-induced weakening of rocks at depth may come from fluid-assisted deformation or recrystallization mechanisms that are absent in dry rocks. In this study, we investigate the effect of water...
