Scholar-generated biography
Aditya Khanna is a Lecturer at The University of Queensland, specializing in Applied Mechanics. His research focuses on the behavior of fractures in geological formations, particularly hydraulic fractures and their interaction with proppant materials. Khanna's work explores the conductivity of fractures filled with proppant monolayers, the impact of residual opening on fracture inflow performance, and the modeling of jointed rock masses as continua. He also investigates stress analysis in composite materials and damage detection using wave mechanics. His studies contribute to understanding the mechanics of fracture stimulation for enhanced gas production and the evaluation of in situ stress through Rayleigh waves.
