Modeling important engineering problems related to flow-induced damage (in the context of hydraulic fracturing among others) depends critically on characterizing the interaction of porous media and interstitial fluid flow. This work…
We present a model of the hydraulic fracturing of heterogeneous poroelastic media. The formalism is an effective continuum model that captures the coupled dynamics of the fluid pressure and the fractured rock matrix and models both the…
The impact of fluid drops on solid substrates has widespread interest in many industrial coating and spraying applications, such as ink-jet printing and agricultural pesticide sprays. Many of the fluids used in these applications are…
In this paper the problem of a plane strain hydraulic fracture in elasto-plastic material is analyzed. The analysis is based on Finite Element Method computations of crack propagation and closure to simulate the Mini-Frac calibration test.…
In blasting engineering, borehole utilization is a key metric for evaluating blasting performance. While previous studies have examined the effects of expansion space, cutting design, in-situ stress conditions, and rock properties on…
Hydraulic fracturing increases reservoir permeability by opening fractures and triggering slip on natural fractures and faults. While seismic slip of small faults or fault patches is detectable as microseismic events, the role of aseismic…
High-velocity microparticle impacts are relevant to many fields from space exploration to additive manufacturing and can be used to help understand the physical and chemical behaviors of materials under extreme dynamic conditions. Recent…
This work intends to analyze the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of drillstrings in horizontal configuration. For this purpose, it considers a beam theory, with effects of rotatory inertia and shear deformation, which is capable of…
In this paper we demonstrate the influence of the pore pressure to the development of a hydraulically-driven fracture in a poroelastic medium. We present a novel numerical model for propagation of a planar hydraulic fracture and prove its…
A model has been developed which simulates the deformation of single crystal austenitic stainless steels and cap-tures the effects of hydrogen on stress corrosion cracking. The model is based on the crystal plasticity theory which relates…
The aim of this work was to simulate the behaviour of hip prostheses under mechanical shocks. When hip joint is replaced by prosthesis, during the swing phase of the leg, a microseparation between the prosthetic head and the cup could…
The paper presents a numerical method for simulating flow and mechanics in fractured rock. The governing equations that couple the effects in the rock mass and in the fractures are obtained using the discrete fracture-matrix approach. The…
Cutting is a key factor affecting the speed of blasting excavation. With the continuous advancement of deep-hole blasting technology, determining the optimal extra-depth of the cut relative to the non-cut blast hole is of paramount…
Rock geophysical properties are widely reported to exhibit non-linear behaviours under low-stress conditions (below 10-20 MPa) before transitioning to the linear elastic stage, primarily due to the closure of microcracks and grain…
When a blunt body impacts an air-water interface, large hydrodynamic forces often arise, a phenomenon many of us have unfortunately experienced in a failed dive or "belly flop." Beyond assessing risk to biological divers, an understanding…
The present study explores the impact of a non-Newtonian fluid drop on a rigid surface using a mesh-free approach, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynam-ics. The complex interaction between viscous and elastic forces during drop impact may be…
Application of performance-based design (PBD) in earthquake geotechnical design codes has been gaining attention for the past decade. Strong vibrations (e.g., earthquake loading) may generate an uplift or a partial separation of shallow…
We consider a two dimensional lattice model to describe the opening of a crack in hydraulic fracturing. In particular we consider that the material only breaks under tension and the fluid has no pressure drop inside the crack. For the case…
Material strength effects have been recently shown to be significant in giant impacts even at scales of planetary collisions. Despite this, their effects are often neglected in numerical giant impact simulations. We present an…
Numerical modeling of hydraulic fracturing is complicated when a fracture reaches a stress barrier. For high barriers, it may require changing of a computational scheme. Despite there are examples of modeling propagation through barriers,…
