A comprehensive treatment of the basic phenomena includes: linear elasticity, stresses, fracture geometry and rheology. The diverse concepts of mechanics are integrated into a coherent description of hydraulic fracture propagation. The chapters in the book are cross-referenced throughout and the connections between the various phenomena are emphasized. The book offers readers a unique approach to the subject with the use of many numerical examples.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHydraulically Induced Fractures in the Petroleum and RelatedIndustries.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Linear Elasticity, Fracture Shapes and Induced Stresses.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Stresses in Formations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fracture Geometry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rheology and Laminar Flow.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Non-Laminar Flow and Solids Transport.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Advanced Topics of Rheology and Fluid Mechanics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Material Balance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Coupling of Elasticity, Flow and Material Balance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fracture Propagation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fracture Height Growth (3D and P-3D Geometries).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Civil%20engineering,%20surveying%20\u0026amp;%20building%20%5BTN%5D%22\"\u003eTN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316696248600,"sku":"9780471956648","price":243.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471956648.jpg?v=1781821602","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/hydraulic-fracture-mechanics-hardback-9780471956648","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
