Using Continuum-Discontinuum Element Method to Model the Foliation-Affected Fracturing in Rock Brazilian Test

In this study, the continuum-discontinuum element method (CDEM) was used to investigate the tensile fracture mechanism of rock materials. An isotropic rock disk model and models considering different foliation inclinations were established, and three schemes were used to simulate the rock fracturing...
