The propagation of hydraulic fracture in layered coal seam: a numerical simulation considering the interface thickness based on the distinct element method
The intercalated layer of coal seam plays an important role in the propagation of hydraulic fracturing. To understand the role of the intercalated layer, a composite coal seam model considering the thickness of the intercalated layer was established. Based on the block distinct element method, the e...
