Effect of Pulse Loads on Dynamic Rock Fracture
The objective of this research was to develop an analytical model which is capable of predicting the fracture pattern in the rock surrounding a wellbore upon which a dynamic loading pulse is applied. The development of the model followed the principle of elastodynamic fracture mechanics. Specifically, inherent cracks are assumed to exist around the edge of the wellbore. Depending on the pulse shape, these cracks are activated to form various fracture patterns. The criterion for initiation of crack growth is determined by the magnitude of the dynamic stress intensity factor associated with the crack. The finite element code HONDO was used to calculate the dynamic stress intensity factors. Analytical predictions were correlated with field experimental data and good agreements were found.
