Abstract
Summary
The results of numerical geomechanical modeling for different scenarios of fracture growth (the presence of plasticity, preexisting fractures, shear stresses) are given. The possibility to describe the recorded fracture growth wave field by an effective moment tensor point source is estimated. The influence of various parameters of a crack growth scenarios on the observed wave field and source radiation pattern is shown.
