Fracture propagation model accounting for intersection among hydraulic fractures and natural fractures in three-dimensional space

open access: yesMeitan xuebao
Due to development of a large number of natural fractures in unconventional gas and oil reservoirs, the fracture expansion patterns during hydraulic fracturing are complicated. It is crucial to clarify the intersecting and expanding mechanical mechanisms

Fully three-dimensional propagation model of horizontal borehole hydraulic fractures in strata under the effect of bedding planes

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2018
The bedding plane effect will occur when hydraulic fractures propagate to the bedding plane in sedimentary strata, resulting in the “≠,” “工,” or “/” shaped fracture morphology.

Morphology, Transport, and Dynamics of Protein Adsorption in Open‐Cell Metal Foam

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Stainless steel (SS) open‐cell foams are shown to adsorb more protein per unit area than previously reported 316L SS and chromium oxide surfaces under static and flow conditions. An integrated approach combining 3D pore imaging, flow simulation, and protein adsorption experiments characterizes the foam’s performance.

Hydraulic Fracturing Growth in Fracture Reservoirs Using Analytical and Numerical Simulation: T-Type Intersections

open access: yesJournal of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 2013
Hydraulic fracture diagnostics have highlighted the potentially complex natural of hydraulic fracture geometry and propagation. This has been particularly true in the cases of hydraulic fracture growth in naturally fractured reservoirs, where the induced

MAPPING HYDRAULIC FRACTURE USING SHEAR WAVE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
It has become critical to understand the location of hydraulic fracture and the extent to which it stimulates a reservoir to plan future drilling and completions. Various methods have been used to map the fracture propagation.

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Bone‐Inspired Recyclable Composites for Damage‐Tolerant Circular Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bone‐inspired architected composites are developed by combining osteon‐like reinforcements with a recyclable Elium thermoplastic matrix. The hierarchical architecture redirects cracks and promotes energy dissipation, while enabling recovery of intact, aligned, load‐bearing reinforcement units that retain their original stiffness, revealing a route ...
