Characterization of Discontinuity and Mechanical Anisotropy of Shale Based on Continuum Damage Mechanics

The effect of the bedding structure on the mechanical properties of layered shale was studied by means of experiment and numerical simulation. Based on continuum damage theory and discrete fracture network modeling method (D-DFN), a finite element model describing structural discontinuity and mechan...
