- This paper presents the first consistent real-world use of the hybrid Finite Element - Finite Difference code Continuum Analysis 2D, a non-commercial TMU in-house code first developed in 1996 (BHRC Report no. 262, 1997) and then updated/improved both in-house (led by the 2nd author: myazdani@modares.ac.uk) and away (led by the lead developer now in New Mexico Tech (http://infohost.nmt.edu/~mining/fakhimi.html). The code offers dynamic stress-strain analysis and crack propagation through solid-fluid interaction. CA2 is ideally suited for design of underground structures (presented in this paper). Cross-disciplinary benefits stretch to the shale gas industry, in CA2 offering fracture propagation predictive models during hydro-fracturing.
