This paper presents a study of the micromechanics of the coupled hydro-mechanical (HM)
behavior of brittle rock during hydraulic fracturing. The study is conducted using the discrete …

This paper evaluates the degree of inelasticity in hydraulic fracture propagation in weak
sandstone by using models obtained by the Discrete Element Method as a basis for …

This paper numerically investigates inelastic behavior of sandstone for better understanding
of hydraulic fracture propagation in georeservoirs. Although many numerical, theoretical …
