Stress resultant plasticity for shells revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this work, we revisit the stress resultant elastoplastic geometrically exact shell finite element formulation that is based on the Ilyushin–Shapiro two-surface yield function with isotropic and kinematic hardening.

Numerical Simulation of a Horizontal Well With Multi-Stage Oval Hydraulic Fractures in Tight Oil Reservoir Based on an Embedded Discrete Fracture Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2020
Tight oil is a kind of unconventional oil and gas resource with great development potential. Due to the unconventional characteristics of low porosity and low permeability in tight oil reservoirs, single wells generally have no natural productivity, and ...

Application of 3D Embedded Discrete Fracture Model for Simulating CO2-EOR and Geological Storage in Fractured Reservoirs

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
For greenhouse gas control and environment protection, CO2 emission reduction has become a hot spot in global research. CO2 injection in developed oil reservoirs to enhance oil recovery is widely regarded as one of the most economical and promising ...

Coupled Geomechanics and Flow Modeling of Fractured Reservoirs considering Matrix Permeability Anisotropy

open access: yesGeofluids, 2022
The effect of geomechanics is crucial in the modeling of fractured reservoirs since fractures can be more stress-sensitive than the rock matrix. In fractured reservoirs, the microscale fractures are often homogenized into the matrix continuum leading to ...

An Effective Numerical Simulation Method for Steam Injection Assisted In Situ Recovery of Oil Shale

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
This paper presents an effective numerical simulation method for production prediction of in situ recovery of oil shale reservoirs with steam injection. In this method, finite volume-based discretization schemes of heat and mass transfer equations of the

Quasicontinuum simulation of fracture at the atomic scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We study the problem of atomic scale fracture using the recently developed quasicontinuum method in which there is a systematic thinning of the atomic-level degrees of freedom in regions where they are not needed.

Imaging compaction band propagation in Diemelstadt sandstone using acoustic emission locations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We report results from a conventional triaxial test performed on a specimen of Diemelstadt sandstone under an effective confining pressure of 110 MPa; a value sufficient to induce compaction bands.

A phase-field method for modeling cracks with frictional contact

open access: yes, 2019
We introduce a phase-field method for continuous modeling of cracks with frictional contacts. Compared with standard discrete methods for frictional contacts, the phase-field method has two attractive features: (1) it can represent arbitrary crack ...

Thermal‒hydraulic‒mechanical‒chemical coupling analysis of enhanced geothermal systems based on an embedded discrete fracture model

open access: yesNatural Gas Industry B, 2023
Enhanced geothermal system (EGS) is subject to the comprehensive effects of multiple physical fields during the long-term heat extraction process, including hydraulic (H), thermal (T), mechanical (M) and chemical (C) fields.

Aging concrete structures: a review of mechanics and concepts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The safe and cost-efficient management of our built infrastructure is a challenging task considering the expected service life of at least 50 years. In spite of time-dependent changes in material properties, deterioration processes and changing demand by
