Particle laden fluids in hydraulic fracturing

The aim of hydraulic fracturing is to create a highly conductive pathway in the reservoir formation of interest. This is typically achieved by ``propping'' the created fracture with solid particles (i.e. proppant) in order to prevent complete closure of th ...

Measurement Properties of the Smartphone-Based B-B Score in Current Shoulder Pathologies

Kamiar Aminian, Alain Farron, Cyntia Duc

This study is aimed at the determination of the measurement properties of the shoulder function B-B Score measured with a smartphone. This score measures the symmetry between sides of a power-related metric for two selected movements, with 100% representin ...

Simultaneous initiation and growth of multiple radial hydraulic fractures from a horizontal wellbore

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Multi-stage fracturing is the current preferred method of completion of horizontal wells in unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs. Its core component consists in simultaneously initiating and propagating an array of hydraulic fractures. We develop a numeri ...

Toward Demystifying the Mohs Hardness Scale

Jean-François Molinari

Today, the Mohs scale is used profusely throughout educational systems without any persuasive understanding of the fundamental principles. Why one mineral has a scratch hardness over the next culminating in a scale of 1 (chalk) to 10 (diamond) has no atomi ...

Flexural strength of micron-scale plate-like silicon in aluminum

Andreas Mortensen, Goran Zagar, Martin Guillermo Mueller, Marta Fornabaio

Mechanical properties of composite materials and alloys are strongly influenced by the intrinsic mechanical properties of the reinforcing phases they contain; however, due to the irregular shape and small size of particulate reinforcements, measuring their ...

Characterization of bone progenitor cells after GFP lentivirus transfection

Axelle Deirdre Eve Justafré, Tanja Cloé Hausherr

Several treatments have been developed for treating bone fractures as they are very common events. Amongst other new strategies, synthetic bone substitutes present a very high potential therapy because they lower the risk of infection and rejection. Moreov ...

Influence of weak layer heterogeneity and slab properties on slab tensile failure propensity and avalanche release area

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume

Dry-snow slab avalanches are generally caused by a sequence of fracture processes, including failure initiation in a weak snow layer underlying a cohesive slab followed by crack propagation within the weak layer (WL) and tensile fracture through the slab. ...

Specimen thickness dependence of large scale fiber bridging in mode I interlaminar fracture of carbon epoxy composite

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Ebrahim Farmand Ashtiani

Large scale bridging is an important toughening mechanism in composite laminates that depends on the specimen geometry as well as the constituent materials. In this work, an iterative approach is applied to identify the effect of specimen thickness on trac ...

Study of Cell Adhesion and Tracking Methods for in Vivo Cell Localisation in a Tissue-Engineering Scaffold

Tanja Cloé Hausherr, Thaïs Cléa Laura Séverine Clouet

Bone fracture healing problems, because of the loss of tissue regeneration, can affect many old or multi-pathologic patients around the world. Among the therapeutic strategies, bone substitutes, such as poly-(L-lactitve acid) with 5% wt. % ß-tricalcium pho ...
