Numerical tests on thermal cracking characteristics of rocks with different scales

Realistic failure process analysis, a thermal software simulation, was used to explore the scale effect of thermal cracking of rock under the thermal–mechanical coupling loading. The patterns and characteristics of thermal destruction were analyzed by simulating the thermal cracking of rocks with th...
