Enhancing hydraulic fracturing on the basis of numerical simulation of coupled geomechanical, hydrodynamic and microseismic processes (HYDROFRAC)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,
The project aims to enhance the hydraulic fracturing techniques for increasing productivity of oil and gas reservoirs. The objective will be reached by developing numerical simulation of coupled geomechanical, hydrodynamic and microseismic processes for proper choices of equipment, regimes and parameters of hydraulic fracturing. Simulation of microseismicity will also provide a unique means to imp ...

Articular Contact Mechanics with Application to Early Diagnosis of Osteoarthritis: Asymptotic Modelling of Biomechanical Contact Phenomena Under Dynamic and Impact Loading (OA AM)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
Around a quarter of the European population aged over 60 suffer from disability due to osteoarthritis (OA). The onset, progression, and severity of this degenerative joint disease is crucially influenced and controlled by mechanical factors in the articular cartilage system. Today, the ever-increasing complexity of mathematical models for articular contact mechanics comes in acute contradiction wi ...

Unsolved problems in fracture mechanics of heterogeneous materials (INTERCRACKS)
Date du début: 1 août 2010, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2012,
"The modelling of micromechanical mechanisms occurring during damage of solids is fundamental for the understanding of how materials fail and consequently structures collapse. For example, predominant mechanism of damage in brittle and quasi-brittle materials is the propagation of a pre-existing dominant crack-like defect, whereas micro-instabilities and localization are failure mechanisms in stru ...
