Acoustic emission characterization of microcracking in laboratory-scale hydraulic fracturing tests
Understanding microcracking near coalesced fracture generation is critically important for hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoir characterization as well as damage evaluation in civil engineering structures. Dense and sometimes random microcracking near coalesced fracture formation alters the mechani...
