Fluid-driven micro-cracking behaviour of crystalline rock using a coupled hydro-grain-based discrete element method

L Kong, PG Ranjith, BQ Li - International Journal of Rock Mechanics and …, 2021 - Elsevier
The grain-scale heterogeneity of rock has been found to greatly affect the cracking
behaviour in mechanical tests. However, the heterogeneity has been insufficiently …

Microfracturing during primary migration in shales

MG Teixeira, F Donzé, F Renard, H Panahi… - Tectonophysics, 2017 - Elsevier
In several geological environments, chemical reactions are coupled to rock deformation and
the associated stresses induced locally interact with the far field loading. This is the case in …
