Wave propagation in the vicinities of rock fractures under obliquely incident wave

Lyesse Laloui, Jian Zhao, Yang Zou, Jing Li

Though obliquely incident plane wave across rock fractures has been extensively investigated by theoretical analysis, the quantitative identification of each wave emerged from fractures has not been achieved either in numerical simulation or laboratory exp ...

Variational phase field model for dynamic brittle fracture

Jean-François Molinari, Jérémy Bleyer, Clément Pierre Mathieu Roux-Langlois

Simulating crack nucleation and propagation remains a challenging problematic because of the complexity of crack patterns observed in fracture mechanics experiments. Whereas some numerical methods aim at explicitly tracking the crack front evolution, an in ...

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells is investigated. It is necessary to simulate the complete process of initiation and propagation of multiple hydraulic fractures ...

Modeling of crack propagation in weak snowpack layers using the discrete element method

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume

Dry-snow slab avalanches are generally caused by a sequence of fracture processes including (1) failure initiation in a weak snow layer underlying a cohesive slab, (2) crack propagation within the weak layer and (3) tensile fracture through the slab which ...

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 ...

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. ...

Particle laden fluids in hydraulic fracturing

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

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 ...

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 ...

Parallel algorithm for multiscale atomistic/continuum simulations using LAMMPS

William Curtin, Fabio Pavia

Deformation and fracture processes in engineering materials often require simultaneous descriptions over a range of length and time scales, with each scale using a different computational technique. Here we present a high-performance parallel 3D computing ...

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 ...
