Numerical Simulation for Fracture Propagation in Elastoplastic Formations

Current hydraulic fracture models are mainly based on elastic theories, which fail to give accurate prediction of fracture parameters in plasticity formation. This paper proposes a fluid–solid coupling model for fracture propagation in elastoplastic formations. The rock plastic deformation in the mo...
