Effects of Cyclic Loading on the Mechanical Properties of Mature Bedding Shale
We investigated the mechanical properties of mature bedding shale under cyclic loading conditions, with an application to the design of hydraulic fracturing in shale gas wells. Laboratory experiments were conducted on shale samples under two principal loading orientations. Testing results showed tha...
