Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding hydraulic fracturing: a multi-scale problem.
Jeffrey D. Hyman,Joaquin Jimenez-Martinez,Hari S. Viswanathan,James William Carey,Mark L. Porter,Esteban Rougier,Satish Karra,Qinjun Kang,Luke P. Frash,Li Chen,Zhou Lei,Daniel O'Malley,Nataliia Makedonska +12 more
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.
Kurama Okubo,Harsha S. Bhat,Esteban Rougier,Samson Marty,Alexandre Schubnel,Zhou Lei,Earl E. Knight,Yann Klinger +7 more
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
Mengyan Zang,Zhou Lei,S. F. Wang +2 more
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
