Macro-fracture mode and micro-fracture mechanism of shale

Through the study of fabric characteristics, mechanical characteristics, crack and microstructure characteristics of shale, the micro-mechanism, controlling factors and fracture modes of shale macro-fracture are revealed. The macro-fracture of shale is affected by fabric characteristics, coring dire...
