Abstract: The importance of preproject planning in the capital facility delivery process and its potential impact on project success has long been recognized by industry practitioners. Nevertheless, the preproject planning process ...

Abstract: Acoustic emission (AE) is one of the most common means used to evaluate the geometries of hydraulic fractures (HFs). The preexisting discontinuities can significantly affect the propagation behaviors of HFs, which is the ...
