Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding hydraulic fracturing: a multi-scale problem.

TL;DR: The potential of CO2 as an alternative working fluid, both in fracturing and re-stimulating activities, beyond its environmental advantages is discussed, as part of the themed issue ‘Energy and the subsurface’.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fracture-permeability behavior of shale

TL;DR: In this article, a triaxial coreflood device and X-ray tomography were combined with finite-discrete element modeling (FDEM) to investigate the fracture-permeability behavior of Utica shale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics, radiation and overall energy budget of earthquake rupture with coseismic off-fault damage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a new physics-based dynamic earthquake rupture modeling framework, based on the combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM), to investigate the fundamental mechanisms of coseismic off-fault damage, and its effect on the rupture dynamics, the radiation and the overall energy budget.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of impact fracture behavior of automobile laminated glass by 3D discrete element method

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D numerical analysis code for the impact fracture behavior of automobile laminated glass is developed, where the impact force and reduction of kinetic energy of impact body between those two models are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Earthquake damage patterns resolve complex rupture processes

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of optical image correlation and first principle physics-based numerical modeling was used to determine the most likely rupture path for the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake.
