1st ed. 2021 Edition
by Yongliang Wang (Author)
This book mainly focuses on the adaptive analysis of damage and
fracture in rock, taking into account multiphysical fields coupling
(thermal, hydro, mechanical, and chemical fields). This type of coupling
is a crucial aspect in practical engineering for e.g. coal mining, oil
and gas exploration, and civil engineering. However, understanding the
influencing mechanisms and preventing the disasters resulting from
damage and fracture evolution in rocks require high-precision and
reliable solutions.
This book proposes adaptive numerical
algorithms and simulation analysis methods that offer significant
advantages in terms of accuracy and reliability. It helps readers
understand these innovative methods quickly and easily. The content
consists of: (1) a finite element algorithm for modeling the continuum
damage evolution in rocks, (2) adaptive finite element analysis for
continuum damage evolution and determining the wellbore stability of
transversely isotropic rock, (3) an adaptive finite element algorithm
for damage detection in non-uniform Euler–Bernoulli beams with multiple
cracks, using natural frequencies, (4) adaptive finite element–discrete
element analysis for determining multistage hydrofracturing in naturally
fractured reservoirs, (5) adaptive finite element–discrete element
analysis for multistage supercritical CO2 fracturing and
microseismic modeling, and (6) an adaptive finite element–discrete
element–finite volume algorithm for 3D multiscale propagation of
hydraulic fracture networks, taking into account hydro-mechanical
coupling. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable reference guide
for researchers, postgraduates and undergraduates majoring in
engineering mechanics, mining engineering, geotechnical engineering, and
geological engineering.
