Bedding plane-embedded augmented virtual internal bonds for fracture propagation simulation in shale

Bedding plane-embedded augmented virtual internal bonds for fracture propagation simulation in shale

To effectively simulate the fracture propagation in shale, the bedding plane (BP) effect is incorporated into the augmented virtual internal bond (AVIB) constitutive relation through BP tensor. Comparing the BP-embedded AVIB with the theory of transverse isotropy, it is found the approach can repres...
