A Numerical Simulation Approach for Shale Fracture Network Characterization Using Hybrid EDFM Method

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
Efficient and economical production in shale reservoirs requires specific knowledge and techniques to characterize the fracture network, which consists of both the large hydraulic fractures and the natural fractures.

A Cut Finite Element Method for Elliptic Bulk Problems with Embedded Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We propose an unfitted finite element method for flow in fractured porous media. The coupling across the fracture uses a Nitsche type mortaring, allowing for an accurate representation of the jump in the normal component of the gradient of the discrete ...

A Coupled Novel Green Element and Embedded Discrete Fracture Model for Simulation of Fluid Flow in Fractured Reservoir

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
In this study, we present a hybrid model coupled with two-set nodes Green element method (GEM) and embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) for capturing the effect of transient flow in inhomogeneous fractured porous media.

Embedded discontinuities for softening solids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Additional, discontinuous functions are added to the displacement field of standard finite elements in order to capture highly localised zones of intense straining.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Multimodal Mechanical Testing of Additively Manufactured Ti6Al4V Lattice Structures: Compression, Bending, and Fatigue

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this experimental study, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti‐6Al‐4V lattice structures of different geometries are characterized using compression, four point bending and fatigue testing. While TPMS designs show superior fatigue resistance, SplitP and Honeycomb lattice structures combine high stiffness and strength. The resulting

Transport and reduction of nitrate in clayey till underneath forest and arable land. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Transport and reduction of nitrate in a typically macroporous clayey till were examined at variable flow rate and nitrate flux. The experiments were carried out using saturated, large diameter (0.5 m), undisturbed soil columns (LUC), from a forest and ...

Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.
