Branching of Hydraulic Cracks in Gas or Oil Shale with Closed Natural Fractures: How to Master Permeability
Saeed Rahimi-Agham, Viet-Tuan Chau, Huynjin Lee +7
While the hydraulic fracturing technology, aka fracking (or fraccing, frac), has become highly developed and astonishingly successful, a consistent formulation of the associated fr…

Learning to fail: Predicting fracture evolution in brittle material models using recurrent graph convolutional neural networks
Max Schwarzer, Bryce Rogan, Yadong Ruan +8
We propose a machine learning approach to address a key challenge in materials science: predicting how fractures propagate in brittle materials under stress, and how these material…

Estimating Failure in Brittle Materials using Graph Theory
M. K. Mudunuru, N. Panda, S. Karra +5
In brittle fracture applications, failure paths, regions where the failure occurs and damage statistics, are some of the key quantities of interest (QoI). High-fidelity models for…
