Fracture Propagation Behavior of Jointed Rocks in Hydraulic Fracturing
Jointed rocks are typical examples of heterogeneous materials with joints. The existence of joints influences the physical properties of rock mass and propagation of fractures, which can affect production operations in engineering. A series of simulations is performed to understand the failure patte...
