Modelling of fault reactivation mechanisms and associated induced seismicity in rocks with different elastic materials

The mechanical failure of fault plane during fluid injection can be conveniently approached by numerical methods, and the results can be applied in fault slip analysis to determine the corresponding magnitude of induced seismicity. During hydrofracturing, when faults are present and the fluid is inj...
