A conventional oil and gas well does not have a natural production capacity, which necessitates a hydraulic fracturing operation. The effectiveness of the fracturing directly impacts the economic benefit of a single well.

Vibrated concrete vs. self-compacting concrete: comparison of fracture mechanics properties [PDF]
This study focuses on the fracture mechanics aspect of self-compacting concrete, compared to vibrated concrete. The most commonly used experiments to investigate the toughness and cracking behaviour of concrete are the three-point bending test (3PBT) on ...

Method for Determining the Fracture Parameters of Fully Graded Dam Concrete
This paper describes a method for determining the initiation and unstable toughness of fully graded concrete of arbitrary specimen size. The method first predicts the initiation and peak loads of concrete specimens of any size, as well as crack length-to-

Effects of fracture aperture and roughness on hydraulic and mechanical properties of rocks : implication of seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs [PDF]
Roughness and aperture are two important characteristic parameters controlling fluid flow in natural joints and fractures. It has been demonstrated by many authors that knowledge of roughness does not directly lead to that of aperture, and aperture ...

Wedge-Splitting Test on Carbon-Containing Refractories at High Temperatures
The mode I fracture behavior of ordinary refractory materials is usually tested with the wedge-splitting test. At elevated temperatures, the optical displacement measurement is difficult because of the convection in the furnace and possible reactions of ...

Multi-parameter fracture mechanics
A mixed-mode geometry has been chosen to investigate a crack propagation using the multi-parameter fracture mechanics concept. The so-called Williams’ series expansion is used for the crack-tip stress field approximation. It has been shown that application of the generalized fracture mechanics concept can be crucial for materials with specific fracture

High serum osteopontin levels are associated with prevalent fractures and worse lipid profile in post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Purpose: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have increased fracture risk. Osteopontin (OPN) is a protein involved in bone remodeling and inflammation.
