Hydraulic fracturing is used in the oil industry in order to increase the index of production
and processing in the wells whose efficiencies have been dropped due to a long-term …

This dissertation investigates the implications of the fluid flow on the behaviour of the particle-
scale structure of a porous hard rock, based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM). This …

In this paper, we present the results of an experimental/numerical investigation on the
influence of specimen and aggregate size on concrete fracture under multiaxial compressive …
