Modeling fracture and deformation of brittle rock under compressive loading
Axial tensile cracks in a uniaxial or low confining stress, triaxial compression test follow a compression-parallel straight path for long distances, often through the whole length of the test specimen. When no transverse tensile stress is applied, as in the compression test, existing fracture mecha...
