Micromechanical study of loading rate effects between a hole and a crack

The interactions between defects are important in rocks. The micromechanical interactions between a circular hole and a pre-existing crack under uniaxial compression with different loading rates are investigated by the discrete element method (DEM). The crack initiation, crack propagation, and crack...
