MSL - Scenario Survey

Which describes your role best?

In which sector is your role?

Please read the scenario below to complete this survey:

1: Andrea is working on designing an experiment, which needs to be presented to her supervisor

2: She needs existing data on sandstone friction at specific stress and temperature conditions. What should be used? Which data is reliable?

3: She is overwhelmed by existing literature and has trouble finding suitable data in the right format. She reaches out to her supervisor for advice.

4: Her supervisor is not really available for her and recommends her to try out the rock and melt physics tool on the EPOS Multi-Scale Laboratory platform. There she will find trustworthy data.

5: Andrea visits the rock and melt physics tool on the website and selects “sandstone” with the property category “shear” in the filters.

6: The tool suggests a set of properties and conditions for her search. She selects those that are interesting for her.

7: With the fine filter feature, she selects ranges in temperature and normal stress to find the friction coefficient of interest. She then proceeds to download the table.

8: She analyzes the data and finds a gap which she can address in her research

9: Based this new data she adapts her experimental protocol accordingly and presents it to her supervisors.
