Analysis of the Influencing Factors on the Well Performance in Shale Gas Reservoir by Cheng Dai, Liang Xue, Weihong Wang, Xiang Li

“…Due to the ultralow permeability of shale gas reservoirs, stimulating the reservoir formation by using hydraulic fracturing technique and horizontal well is required to create the pathway of gas flow so that the shale gas can be recovered in an economically viable manner. The hydraulic fractured formations can be divided into two regions, stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) region and non-SRV region, and the produced shale gas may exist as free gas or adsorbed gas under the initial formation condition. …”

Influence of secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) on the fatigue properties of different conventional automotive aluminum cast alloys by Sascha Gerbe, Ulrich Krupp, Wilhelm Michels

“…For industrial in-series castings, the presence of casting defects, like porosity, geometrically complex intermetallic precipitates and the occurrence of eutectic silicon of varying morphologies, is well known but hard to prevent due to technical and economic limitations. To improve the performance and safety of cast aluminum products, the present work deals with the correlation between the cooling-rate-dependent secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), the high- and very-high-cycle-fatigue (VHCF) behavior, the crack propagation mechanisms under pure bending with a focus on the crack propagation paths for near-threshold stress intensity factor ranges ?…”
