Influence of Anisotropic Texture on Fracture Toughness of Shale Rocks under Cyclic Loading during Drilling
Shale rocks exhibit strong mechanical anisotropy due to their layered texture, which significantly influences fracture behavior under the cyclic loading conditions encountered during drilling. This study investigates the effect of anisotropic texture, characterized by bedding orientation angle β, on the Mode I fractu...
