Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Statistics
  • Mechanical engineering

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geotechnical engineering, Rock mechanics, Fracture, Permeability and Hydraulic fracturing. His study in Geotechnical engineering is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shear, Stress, Monte Carlo method and Fracture mechanics. Ove Stephansson combines subjects such as Effective stress, Crust and Borehole with his study of Stress.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Optics and Rock mass classification in addition to Rock mechanics. His Fracture study incorporates themes from Mechanical engineering, Linear elasticity and Deformation. As part of one scientific family, Ove Stephansson deals mainly with the area of Hydraulic fracturing, narrowing it down to issues related to the Induced seismicity, and often Geomechanics, Enhanced geothermal system, Magnitude, Volumetric flow rate and Geothermal gradient.

His most cited work include:

  • Regional patterns of tectonic stress in Europe (372 citations)
  • Rock stress and its measurement (352 citations)
  • Coalescence of fractures under shear stresses in experiments (247 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geotechnical engineering, Fracture, Stress, Rock mass classification and Hydraulic fracturing. The concepts of his Geotechnical engineering study are interwoven with issues in Induced seismicity and Fracture mechanics. His Fracture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fluid dynamics, Discrete element method and Shear.

He works mostly in the field of Stress, limiting it down to topics relating to Mechanics and, in certain cases, Anisotropy. His research investigates the connection between Rock mass classification and topics such as Excavation that intersect with issues in Mining engineering and Radioactive waste. His Hydraulic fracturing research focuses on subjects like Acoustic emission, which are linked to Mineralogy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geotechnical engineering (49.47%)
  • Fracture (22.34%)
  • Stress (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Hydraulic fracturing (16.49%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (49.47%)
  • Induced seismicity (9.04%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ove Stephansson mostly deals with Hydraulic fracturing, Geotechnical engineering, Induced seismicity, Fracture and Permeability. His Hydraulic fracturing research incorporates elements of Fluid dynamics, Cabin pressurization, Acoustic emission and Borehole. The Fracture propagation research Ove Stephansson does as part of his general Geotechnical engineering study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Charles's law, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Induced seismicity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spent nuclear fuel, Stress drop, Petrology and Rock mass classification. His work in Fracture covers topics such as Discrete element method which are related to areas like Geometry, Schist and Metamorphic rock. The Permeability study combines topics in areas such as Geothermal gradient and Seismic hazard.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Hydraulic fracture monitoring in hard rock at 410 m depth with an advanced fluid-injection protocol and extensive sensor array (59 citations)
  • How to Reduce Fluid-Injection-Induced Seismicity (46 citations)
  • Cyclic hydraulic fracturing of pocheon granite cores and its impact on breakdown pressure, acoustic emission amplitudes and injectivity (27 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Statistics
  • Mechanical engineering

Hydraulic fracturing, Geotechnical engineering, Permeability, Induced seismicity and Borehole are his primary areas of study. The various areas that Ove Stephansson examines in his Hydraulic fracturing study include Sample, Petrology, Range and Granitic rock. Ove Stephansson does research in Geotechnical engineering, focusing on Fracture specifically.

His studies deal with areas such as Fluid dynamics, Slippage, Microseism and Fracture propagation as well as Permeability. In his study, Cabin pressurization, Enhanced geothermal system, Geothermal gradient and Seismic hazard is strongly linked to Acoustic emission, which falls under the umbrella field of Induced seismicity. Ove Stephansson combines subjects such as Constant flow, Azimuth, Stress and Magnitude with his study of Borehole.
