We present a uniform asymptotic solution (UAS) for a displacement discontinuity (DD) that lies within the middle layer of a three-layer elastic medium in which relative shear deformation between parallel interfaces is controlled by linear springs. Th

Much study has been conducted on the effects of formation Young's modulus and in situ stress on hydraulic fracture height containment in layered formations. It has been well documented that in situ stress contrast is the dominant parameter controllin

We provide a brief historical background of the development of hydraulic fracturing models for use in the petroleum and other industries. We discuss scaling laws and the propagation regimes that control the growth of hydraulic fractures from the labo

We present a novel multigrid (MG) procedure for the efficient solution of the large non-symmetric system of algebraic equations used to model the evolution of a hydraulically driven fracture in a multi-layered elastic medium. The governing equations

We present a method that extends the flexibility matrix method for multilayer elasticity problems to include problems with very thin layers. This method is particularly important for solving problems in which one or a number of very thin layers are j

We present a planar three-dimensional (3D) fracture growth simulator, based on a displacement discontinuity (DD) method for multi-layer elasticity problems. The method uses a fixed mesh approach, with rectangular panel elements to represent the plana

We present uniform asymptotic solutions (UAS) for displacement discontinuities (DD) that lie within the middle layer of a three layer elastic medium. The DDs are assumed to be normal to the two parallel interfaces between the leastic media, and solut

Evidence of numerical instabilities in two-dimensional time domain direct boundary element methods is presented. The e!ects of numerical versus analytical integration of spatial integrals on stability are shown, and two new time-stepping algorithms a

Direct and indirect time marching boundary element methods often become numerically unstable. Evidence of, and reasons for, these instabilities is provided in this paper. Two new time stepping schemes are presented, both of which are more stable than
