Predictions of macro-scale fracture geometries from acoustic emission point cloud data in a hydraulic fracturing experiment

Abstract Observations of laboratory fracture testing by means of acoustic emission (AE) can provide a wealth of information regarding the fracturing process and the subsequent damage of the material or structure under load. A method for determining the structure of macro-scale fractures from a point...
