Fracture Geometry Evolution

Fracture Geometry Evolution is a theoretical construct in geomechanics that characterizes the temporal and spatial transformation of fracture network configurations through progressive changes in their geometric attributes, kinematic relationships, and topological connectivity under evolving stress and fluid-pressure conditions.
