This study examines the mechanical properties and fracture modes of sandstone with single double cracks under varying confining pressures through triaxial compression tests. The stress–strain curves, parameters, both intact cracked are analyzed based on experimental results. finds that presence has a significant impact sandstone, greater damage observed an increase in number cracks. peak streng...

At present, a significant part of oil is extracted from difficult-to-develop reservoirs with low permeability. Hydraulic fracturing one the most important methods production stimulation. Scientific articles do not describe connections between flow-rate in well and change pressure hydraulic fracture or changing fracture, except some cases constant fluid-flow production. We obtained both exact an...

The work involves develops attended by a numerical execution of the eXtend Finite Element Method premises a measurement by the fracture process cracked so many cracked plates an application will be processed for the calculation of the stress intensity factor SIF. In the first we give in statically part the distribution of stress, displacement field and strain of composite plate in two cases unc...

A puzzling question in dynamic fracture has been why cracks in amorphous brittle materials always travel at velocities smaller than the Rayleigh wave speed. The answer is that the energy per length needed for the crack to propagate depends strongly on velocity. As the energy flux to the crack tip increases, the crack chooses new modes of dissipation such as micro-cracking and the creation of su...

The identification of particular types of damage in wind turbine blades using acoustic emission (AE) techniques is a significant emerging field. In this work, a 45.7-m turbine blade was subjected to flap-wise fatigue loading for 21 days, during which AE was measured by internally mounted piezoelectric sensors. This paper focuses on using unsupervised pattern recognition methods to characterize ...

We solve a problem of fluid dynamics in an arbitrarSignificant progress has been made in the quantitative ily shaped fracture containing proppant. The fracture modeling of the dynamic interaction of a fracture with is embedded in an absolutely rigid solid. The fluid flow surrounding elastic rock. Using the finite-difference method, is induced by normal harmonic oscillations of fracture Chouet (...

A plane crack is considered and the influence of local curvature front on mechanical fields studied. The main goal to determine stress intensity factors along a curved planar in linear elasticity with accuracy. This obtained by determination new test use bilinear forms, issued from invariant integrals, which separate modes fracture.

In this paper the problem of redirection a crack driven by viscous fluid under mixed mode loading is considered. The includes classical Modes I - III and hydraulically induced tangential traction on fracture walls. effect plastic deformation near tip zone accounted for. Different criteria to determine deflection angle are examined compared.

This paper experimentally investigates the fatigue damage evolution in pre-corroded aluminum alloy (AA) 7075-T7651 via digital image correlation (DIC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Three stages of including accumulation, macro-crack initiation propagation are identified described combined analysis severity curves strain maps. The micro-cracking characteristics dominant fracture region...
