Hydraulic fracturing is a prospective technology for methane hydrate deposit exploitation. The evolution of hydraulically stimulated fractures around the point of liquid injection is simulated. For this purpose, the FLAC3D computer model is used because of its explicit calculation cycle that imitates real physics, prevents numerical instability, and reproduces a realistic path during simulation of the nonlinear rock massif behavior. The results of the simulation provide for new findings, namely, the spatial asymmetry and synchronism violation, spatial deviation, discontinuity, and recurrence during microseismic diffusion, which follow the process of hydraulic fracturing. In addition, dissipative structures were developed due to entropy production, since gas hydrate strata are an open thermodynamic system, which transforms and dissipates the energy of the injected liquid. The process of dissipative structure evolution should be controlled to enhance the gas yield from the hydrates.

The absorption and dispersion of sound due to dissipative phenomena such as diffusion, heat conduction and viscous flow have been investigated by Herzfeld, Litovitz and others. Whereas in these studies the total energy of the carrier system remains constant, we consider the case that it is changing. It turnes out that the wavelength X remains constant, while all other wave characteristics become time depend and can be connected with the usual sound velocity of the carrier system ..The change in energy density takes place via the potential energy. Thus the original balance between potential and kinetic energy is disturbed. Modulation vibrations of the wave amplitudes around the time averages arise. In addition dephasing of the pressure and density components with respect to the acoustic velocity takes place. The phasevelocities are disturbed too. They differ from time dependence of c(t).These differences are running asymptotically towards zero, i. e. after a longer period of time a phase step remains of the total wave system. This phase step is negative for increasing energy of the carrier system and positive for decreasing energy. The value of the phase step is proportional to the wavelength λ, i. e. systems of this kind show dispersion.

The paper presents the study of the effect of hydrogenation on the mechanical properties of commercially pure titanium. It has been found that the localized deformation zones occurring in the plastically deforming Ti samples are stationary dissipative structures. The kinetics of dissipative structure evolution was studied. The hydrogenation treatment is found to enhance a tendency to strain localization in as-treated material, which affects significantly material strength properties.
