In considering the problem of inverse modeling of tiltmeter data for hydraulic fracture mapping, we address the issues of selecting the elastic model to represent the hydraulic fracture and limitations imposed by distance and fracture size on the informati ...
We show that elastic waves can be excited at a fracture inside a transparent sample by focusing laser light directly onto this fracture. The associated displacement field, measured by a laser interferometer, has pronounced waves that are diffracted at the ...
Remote sensing of fractures with elastic waves is important in fields ranging from seismology to nondestructive testing. In many geophysical applications, fractures control the flow of fluids such as water, hydrocarbons or magma. While previous analytic de ...
NOVELTY - The test probe (100) is inserted through periosteum and/or soft tissue on a bone, such that the test probe contacts the bone. The test probe is inserted multiple times into same location of the bone, to create one or more microscopic fractures in ...
Method and apparatus for monitoring growth of fracture during hydraulic fracturing treatment of a ground formation. A series of tiltmeters are positioned at spaced apart tiltmeter stations at which tilt changes due to hydraulic fracturing treatment are mea ...

In the framework of spine traumatology, burst fractures are severe and are often caused by car accidents or by falls. The vertebra breaks under the traumatic compression and pieces of it are shattered in all directions. This type of fracture is often treat ...
The cement for surgical purposes includes three components. The first component includes beta tertiary calciumphosphate beta-Ca3(PO4)2(beta-TCP) particles; and monocalcium phosphate Ca(H2PO4)2(MCPA) or monocalcium phosphate monohydrate Ca(H2PO4).H2O (MCPM) ...
