Roughness Effects of Crack Surfaces on the Elastic Moduli of Cracked Rocks

Crack surfaces are usually rough on various scales, and are sensitive to loading stresses and hence significantly affecting the mechanical properties of cracked rocks. We design a number of dry- and fluid-saturated numerical cracked samples to investigate the roughness influence of crack surfaces on...
