On the layer crossing problem for a semi-infinite hydraulic fracture
A. V. Valov, E. V. Dontsov
This paper analyses the problem of a semi-infinite fluid-driven fracture propagating through multiple stress layers in a permeable elastic medium. Such a problem represents the tip…

An upscaling based three parameter elastic anisotropy model
E. V. Dontsov
Rock formations often exhibit transversely anisotropic elastic behavior due to their layered structure. Such materials are characterized by five independent elastic constants. In t…
