Fracture Mechanisms in Organic-Rich Shales: Role of Kerogen
In this work we study role of kerogen in the fracture properties of organic-rich shales and, in particular, in the ductility of shales. The presence of kerogen and clays in shale is known to increase the ductility. We propose here a multiscale approach to develop a fine understanding of shale ductil...
