Calculation method of proppant embedment depth in hydraulic fracturing

For the issue of proppant embedment in hydraulic fracturing, a new calculation method of embedment depth considering elastic-plastic deformation was proposed based on the mechanism of proppant embedment into rocks by combining proppant embedment constitutive equations and contact stresses on the roc...
