In this study, we investigate the possibility of using a high‐density fluid to induce downward
fracture growth in a hydraulic fracturing process. We propose a mathematical model to …

Gassy sediments contribute to destabilization of aquatic infrastructure, air pollution, and
global warming. In the current study a precise shape and size of the buoyant mature …

The fracture phenomenon is defined via the change of state of structure (entity) between the
intact and the fractured end states as the function of the state variable. The twin state …

The aim of this paper is to propose a generic weight function for computation of the stress 7
intensity factor in fracture mechanics. In this study two generic state functions and a generic …

An elliptical subsurface crack under normal loading may experience mixed fracture modes
due to the non‐symmetrical geometry. This paper investigates the coupling of the modes of …

Bending force and fatigue-induced crack is a generally assured trouble in industrial pipe line
achieving their original design life. An amount of high-profile accidents has been covered in …

Normal loading causes mixed fracture modes in an elliptical subsurface crack because of
the nonsymmetrical geometry with respect to the crack face. In this paper, mixed mode …

In the present paper, we develope a 3-DM srf-integral to evaluate the surface energy that is
corresponding to formation of multiple surface cracks. The M srf-integral is formulated by …

Explicit asymptotic solutions are still unavailable for an elliptical crack or sharp V-notch in a
three-dimensional elastic domain. Towards their derivation we first consider the Laplace …

This paper presents novel analytical solutions for the analysis of an elliptical cavity within an
infinite plane under plane strain conditions, considering typical displacement‐controlled …
