Buoyancy-driven crack propagation: the limit of large fracture toughness [PDF]
, 2007 We study steady vertical propagation of a crack filled with buoyant viscous fluid through an elastic solid with large effective fracture toughness. For a crack fed by a constant flux Q, a non-dimensional fracture toughness K=Kc/(3μQm3/2)1/4 describes the

Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in Fractured Rock Mass
Applied Sciences, 2022 According to fracture mechanics theory, the initial cracking law and wing crack propagation model of compression shear rock cracks subjected to hydraulic pressure and far field stresses are discussed. The results of the theoretical study show that crack initiation strength is inversely related to hydraulic pressure, that hydraulic pressure aggravates ...
