Numerical Studies on the Failure Process of Heterogeneous Rock Material with Preexisting Fracture under Uniaxial Compression

It is of vital importance to understand the failure processes of the heterogeneous rock material with different kinds of preexisting fractures in underground engineering. A damage model was introduced to describe the initiation and propagation behaviors of the fractures in rock. Reduced parameters w...
