A Two-Dimensional Theory of Fracture Propagation [PDF]
Summary A basic theory of two-dimensional (2D) fracture propagation has been developed with a Lagrangian formulation combined with a virtual work analysis. Fluid leakoff is included by the assumption that an incompressible filtrate produces a piston-like displacement of a compressible reservoir fluid with a moving boundary between the ...

Numerical simulation of wave propagation in 2-D fractured media : scattering attenuation at different stages of the growth of a fracture population [PDF]
In this paper, we systematically examine the multiple scattering process of seismic waves at consecutive stages of the evolution of 2-D fracture population. Synthetic seismograms are computed using the pseudo-spectral method for elastic wave propagation,

Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in Fractured Rock Mass
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 ...

Numerical Analysis on the Stability of Hydraulic Fracture Propagation
The formation of dense spacing fracture network is crucial to the hydraulic fracturing treatment of unconventional reservoir. However, one difficulty for fracturing treatment is the lack of clear understanding on the nature of fracture complexity created
