Mathematical modelling in solid mechanics: an example with fracking

Description:  I will present the various steps of mathematical modelling on a practical case: presentation and setting of the problem (hydraulic fracture), choice of the approach (energergetical and variational), choice of the method (topological differentiation), design of the algorithm (quasi-static and incremental), choice of the discretization (finite elements), choice of the computational language (Matlab), presentation of the numerical results and discussion. This work is part of a long-term research programme with André Novotny (LNCC, Brasil) and Marcel Xavier (UFF, Niterói, Brasil).
