.... The strata can fail in front of the working face or over the goaf controlled by the yield degree of coal seam. The bending moment magnitude of strata is significantly influenced by both the support scheme and the yielded coal seam. In addition to the above, the subcritical crack growth model was adopted...

... beyond which SCC may fail, we need to understand SCC's atomic mechanisms. In this study, stress corrosion cracking of the pre-cracked crystalline quartz is considered using a reactive molecular dynamics simulation. The results show that water has a strong influence on subcritical crack growth...

... shows that the hydraulic fractures could propagate continuously after the main fracturing stage (pump off)[8-9]. It could be explained by the mechanism of subcritical crack growth[10]. This process may take a period of time, and is beneficial to the following hydraulic fracturing treatment. The main...

... ABSTRACT: The problem of thermal crack growth due to cold-water injection has been an important issue as a means of reservoir permeability enhancement in geothermal reservoirs. In this paper, we present numerical investigation of thermal crack growth in the vicinity of a borehole...

... of cracks (Lockner, 1993). Stress strain behavior of low-porosity crystalline rocks during laboratory compression experiments is divided into four characteristic stages: crack closure, elastic region, stable crack growth and unstable crack growth which leads to brittle failure, (Brace et al., 1966...

Instead of investigating the thermally activated multiple interacting crack growth and patterns [9,13,14], we consider the growth of one single fracture subject to a constant pressure, which is less than the far-field...
