| Abstract: | Conclusions (1) Relations between permeability, and fracture geometry and loading can be established by means of fracture mechanics.(2) The mean crack opening displacement (MCOD) can be calculated by Equation 13.(3) MCOD is easily obtained without great computational efforts, even for relatively complicated cases, if fracture intensity factor is known.(4) The plasticity of fractures and multifracture sets are recommended for further study. |
