A Powerful Prediction Framework of Fracture Parameters for Hydraulic Fracturing Incorporating eXtreme Gradient Boosting and Bayesian Optimization

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
In the last decade, low-quality unconventional oil and gas resources have become the primary source for domestic oil and gas storage and production, and hydraulic fracturing has become a crucial method for modifying unconventional reservoirs.

Optimization of Mathematical Function-Shaped Fracture Distribution Patterns for Multi-Stage Fractured Horizontal Wells

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2005
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 ...

Analytical solutions of fracture parameters for a centrally cracked Brazilian disk considering the loading friction

open access: yes工程科学学报, 2022
A centrally cracked Brazilian disk (CCBD) specimen subjected to a pair of diametral compressive forces has been widely used to study mixed-mode I and II fractures of brittle and quasi-brittle materials.

Wedge-Splitting Test on Carbon-Containing Refractories at High Temperatures

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
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

open access: yesFrattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have increased fracture risk. Osteopontin (OPN) is a protein involved in bone remodeling and inflammation.
