The role of brittleness in hydraulic fracture initiation and propagation mechanisms
Brittleness index (BI) is a critical parameter characterizing the deformation regime of geo-materials, controlling the fracture development in underground applications. The goal of this study is to understand the multiscale fluid-driven fracture in geomaterials, and investigate the role of BI in hyd...
