Peridynamics is a non-local continuum theory that was introduced by Silling. Its key advantage is its use of integral equation forms of the underlying physics, as compared to the partial differential equations in, say the finite element method and th...

Numerical simulation of fracking in shale rocks: current state and future approaches (2016)
Journal Article
Hattori, G., Trevelyan, J., Augarde, C., Coombs, W., & Aplin, A. (2017). Numerical simulation of fracking in shale rocks: current state and future approaches. Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering, 24(2), 281-317. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11831-016-9169-0

Extracting gas from shale rocks is one of the current engineering challenges but offers the prospect of cheap gas. Part of the development of an effective engineering solution for shale gas extraction in the future will be the availability of reliabl...
