Abstract: Several problems in analysis can arise in estimating in-situ stresses from standard hydraulic fracturing operations if the borehole is not aligned with one of the principal stress directions. ...

Abstract: Well bore stresses induced by inflatable packers during hydraulic fracturing operations are investigated. The geologic formation is modeled as an unbounded homogeneous isotropic linear elastic solid ...

Abstract: A linear two-temperature theory of thermoelasticity is used to investigate the stresses arising from the aerodynamic heating of a solid isotropic sphere. The major effect of this theory as ...

Abstract: The plane elastic deformation of a notched half-plane which is compressed by a flat rigid surface is investigated. The stress and displacement fields of this notched halfplane are felt to be ...

Abstract: Analytical methods are developed for treating steady-state axisymmetric thermoelastic problems defined in bispherical coordinates. Possible geometrical configurations include the infinite space with ...

Abstract: A micromechanical analysis for the linear elastic behavior of a low-density foam with open cells is presented. The foam structure is based on the geometry of a Kelvin soap froth with flat ...
