An approach to hydraulic fracture in geomaterials through a porous brittle damage material model
Abstract A coupled hydromechanical code based on a distributed brittle damage material model has been developed in order to simulate hydraulic fracturing processes. As specific feature, the code does not assume the development of a discrete number of sharp cracks but considers a diffused damage that...
