Anisotropic crack evolution and fractal failure mechanism of Lushan shale under compression: insights from acoustic emission

Abstract The Lushan shale, located in the Upper Sinian Formation of China, is a promising zone for commercial shale gas development. Understanding the crack evolution and fractal failure mechanisms of anisotropic Lushan shale under compression is critical for ensuring safe drilling and optimizing re...
