Quantitative predictions of natural and induced phenomena in fractured rock is one of the
great challenges in the Earth and Energy Sciences with far‐reaching economic and …

The Green's function (GF) method, which makes use of GFs, is an important and elegant tool
for solving a given boundary-value problem for the differential equation from a real …

Induced seismicity linked to geothermal resource exploitation, hydraulic fracturing, and
wastewater disposal is evolving into a global issue because of the increasing energy …

Based on continuum–discontinuum element method (CDEM), a three-dimensional hydraulic
fracturing model which can consider simultaneously the continuum field, crack opening …

Closed-form expressions for poroelastic coefficients are derived for anisotropic materials
exhibiting single and double porosity. A novel feature of the formulation is the use of the …

Functionally graded porous materials are porous structures with porosity gradient distributed
over volume. The porous structures having valuable properties, such as lightweight and …

Self-consistent extension of linear poroelasticity to overlapping scales of porosity within fluid-
saturated anisotropic materials is developed. The coefficient matrix of poromechanical …

This study is devoted to numerical modeling of cracking process induced by temperature
change in saturated porous rocks in the context of geological disposal of radioactive waste …

Abstract Viable Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) require (1) access to large reservoir
volumes at high temperatures and (2) sufficient permeability for large production flow rates …

Unconventional geomaterials often exhibit multi-modal pore size distribution. We have
developed a comprehensive framework for porous media exhibiting multiple porosity scales …
