Numerical Study of the Mechanical Properties and Failure Mechanisms of Shale Under Different Loading Conditions

The fracturing performance of shale directly influences the effectiveness of shale gas development. To investigate the impact of bedding on the anisotropic mechanical properties and failure modes of shale under different stress paths, a shale model with randomly generated bedding planes was establis...
