Moment tensor analysis of transversely isotropic shale based on the discrete element method

In this study, the moment tensor of transversely isotropic shale was analyzed using a discrete element method-acoustic emission model (DEM-AE model). Firstly, the failure modes of the shale obtained from the acoustic emission (AE) events and physical experiments were compared. Secondly, the relation...
