Experimental study and numerical simulation of propagation and coalescence processes of pre-existing flaws in a transparent rock-like material

Flaws in the rock play an important role in the failure of rock engineering. In this article, some rock-like specimens prepared by transparent resin material were used to investigate the propagation and coalescence processes of pre-existing closed three-dimensional flaws, and a series of uniaxial co...
