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...

A coupled BEM/Scaled Boundary FEM formulation for accurate computations in linear elastic fracture mechanics (2010)
Journal Article
Bird, G., Trevelyan, J., & Augarde, C. (2010). A coupled BEM/Scaled Boundary FEM formulation for accurate computations in linear elastic fracture mechanics. Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, 34(6), 599-610. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enganabound.2010.01.007

Issues relating to the practical implementation of the coupled boundary element–scaled boundary finite element method are addressed in this paper. A detailed approach highlights fully the process of applying boundary conditions, including the treatme...
