Investigation of Damage Evolution in Heterogeneous Rock Based on the Grain-Based Finite-Discrete Element Model

Granite exhibits obvious meso-geometric heterogeneity. To study the influence of grain size and preferred grain orientation on the damage evolution and mechanical properties of granite, as well as to reveal the inner link between grain size‚ preferred orientation, uniaxial tensile strength (UTS) and...
