Phase field method for quasi-static hydro-fracture in porous media under stress boundary condition considering the effect of initial stress field
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk
Phase field model (PFM) is an efficient fracture modeling method and has high potential for hydraulic fracturing (HF). However, the current PFMs in HF do not consider well the effe…
Phase field modeling of hydraulic fracture propagation in transversely isotropic poroelastic media
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang
This paper proposes a phase field model (PFM) for describing hydraulic fracture propagation in transversely isotopic media. The coupling between the fluid flow and displacement fie…
Phase Field Characterization of Rock Fractures in Brazilian Splitting Test Specimens Containing Voids and Inclusions
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Jiaming Zhou +1
The Brazilian splitting test is a widely used testing procedure for characterizing the tensile strength of natural rock or rock-like material due to the fact. However, the results…
Phase-field modeling of fluid-driven dynamic cracking in porous media
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk
A phase field model for fluid-driven dynamic crack propagation in poroelastic media is proposed. Therefore, classical Biot poroelasticity theory is applied in the porous medium whi…
Phase field modeling and computer implementation: A review
X. Zhuang, S. Zhou, G. D. Huynh +2
This paper presents an overview of the theories and computer implementation aspects of phase field models (PFM) of fracture. The advantage of PFM over discontinuous approaches to f…
On the hydraulic fracturing in naturally-layered porous media using the phase field method
Xiaoying Zhuang, Shuwei Zhou, Mao Sheng +1
In the hydraulic fracturing of natural rocks, understanding and predicting crack penetrations into the neighboring layers is crucial and relevant in terms of cost-efficiency in eng…
