The phrase "fracture extension" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to geology, engineering, or medical fields, particularly when discussing the propagation of fractures.
Example: "The study focused on the mechanisms of fracture extension in rock formations under stress."
Alternatives: "fracture propagation" or "crack extension."
The blast-induced fracture extension in two representative jointed rock masses is studied subsequently.
This study indicates that there exists a critical fracture length when fracture extension stops.
At the end of this chapter discussions are extended to fracture extension pressure, closure pressure, net pressure, and surface-treating pressure.
These issues are attributed to the high fracturing pressure, limited fracture extension because of sand plugging, significant horizontal stress contrast, and discontinuities produced during hydraulic fracturing.
It was found that the dimensionless pressure function and its derivative strongly depend on fracture conductivity and fracture extension during early times.
The effectiveness of our model is verified by comparing the single fracture extension results obtained by our model to those obtained by a semi-analytical model.
The changes in electrical resistance facilitated the detection of fracture and crack extension in the CF/PP composites.
The calibrated computational model is applied to predict crack extension in fracture specimens having various initial crack configurations and the numerical predictions agree very well with experimental measurements.
Then this crack was filled with CNT paste for the evaluation of crack extension and fracture.
Our composite structures all show an increasing fracture resistance with crack extension (rising R-curve behavior) due to extrinsic toughening mechanisms such as uncracked-ligament bridging, inelastic deformation of ductile layers, lamellae pull out and ceramic bridge fracture.
This paper examines the J R curve theory in elastic-plastic fracture mechanics and crack extension resistance in order to analyze the large-scale yielding of statically indeterminate pipe structure with a circumferential crack.
