and fracture behavior of concrete. A modified piecewise linear sieve curve was proposed to …

Discrete fracture and matrix modeling of coupled flow and geomechanics is instrumental for
understanding flow in fractured media for various geoengineering applications such as …

The Weibull distribution is used to describe the heterogeneity of rock hydraulics and
embedded into the Fish program which is based on the discrete element method. The …

While the production of shale gas is always accompanied by stratum deformation, previous
studies have commonly assumed isotropy to simplify the modeling process despite …

The pore pressure inside oil and gas reservoirs compartmentalized by sealing faults
increases during injection processes. The rise in the pore pressure can induce fault …

The presence of discontinuities, such as fractures or geological faults, can significantly
influence the fluid flow in a porous medium. In general, the discontinuities can act as …

Fractured coal masses, characterized by a low elastic modulus and a large filtration
coefficient, are often subjected to a complex hydro-mechanical-damage (HMD) coupling …

Metal Rubber (MR), characterized by its porous topology and metal-based entangled
structure, is commonly utilized in high-temperature environments. The intricate nature of …

A detailed and fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) model for fractured rock is
presented. This model distinguishes itself by harmoniously integrating elastoplastic material …

This paper presents the formulation of a robust integrated framework for the coupled
multiphysics and multiple fracture growth analysis in porous media. The finite element …
