Study on Hydro-Mechanical Coupling Failure and Permeability Enhancement Mechanisms for Sandstone with T-Shaped Fractures

The rise in the connectivity of the fractures is a key task in oil/gas and geothermal exploitation systems. Natural fractures widely exist in underground reservoir sandstone, while the mechanical behavior of rock with fractures subjected to hydro-mechanical coupling loads is far from clear. This pap...
