An Elastoplastic Softening Damage Model for Hydraulic Fracturing in Soft Coal Seams by Yang Hao, Yu Wu, Xianbiao Mao, Pan Li, Liqiang Zhang, Jing Tao

“…In order to improve the permeability of soft coal seams with low intensity and permeability by hydraulic fracturing, an elastoplastic softening damage model of soft coal seams has been established, which takes into consideration the lower elastic modulus and tensile strength and higher pore compressibility and plastic deformation. The model then was implemented to FLAC3D finite difference software to be verified with the on-site results of the Number 2709 coalface in Datong coal mine, China. …”

AN ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF INVESTMENT SAVING AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN TURKEY: 1950-2004 by Ercan Sarıdoğan, Sefer Şener, Deniz Şükrüoğlu

“…Explaining the underlying sources of the economic growth of Turkey is very important not only for testing different theoretical growth models but also to design economic policies and reforms for these countries. The methodology we applied depends on the time series econometric techniques which include analyzing the stationarity of the variables, cointegration, vector error correction mechanism, and Granger causality and vector auto regressive models with impulse-response and variance decomposition techniques. …”
