Fully coupled elasto-plastic computational framework for fluid pressurised crack evolution in porous media

A dual porosity damage model is developed with the intention for the efficient solving of complex hydrofracture problems. The model is developed by utilising two pre-existing methodologies and adapting them for the purpose of solving hydrofracture problems. The damage model uses a NeoHookean finite...
