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…
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…
A phase-field modeling approach of fracture propagation in poroelastic media
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk
This paper proposes a phase field model for fracture in poroelastic media. The porous medium is modeled based on the classical Biot poroelasticity theory and the fracture behavior…
