The Impacts of Bedding Strength Parameters on the Micro-Cracking Morphology in Laminated Shale under Uniaxial Compression

The micro-cracking morphology in laminated shale formation plays a critical role in the enhancement of shale gas production, but the impacts of bedding strength parameters on micro-cracking morphology have not been well understood in laminated shale formation. This paper numerically investigated the...
