... and discontinuities on the strength of brittle materials Hydraulic fracturing can be considered as a technique to overcome the strength of a rock mass in situ, initiation and propagation of a crack through a system of pre-existing fractures, essentially planar discontinuities (e.g., bedding planes), and intact rock...

... and spheres in 3D) are assigned certain bond strength (both in tension and shear). It was found that BPM quite well approximates mechanical behavior of the brittle rocks [1]. The elastic properties of the contacts (i.e., contact shear and normal stiffness) can be calibrated to match the desired elastic...

... that the activation of only a small portion of cemented microfractures can increase the total formation contact surface considerably, and consequently increase the initial production by many folds. hydraulic fracturing natural fracture criterion thermal stress fluid pressure strength international...
