Investigation of Microcrack Propagation and Energy Evolution in Brittle Rocks Based on the Voronoi Model

The cracking of rock mass under compression is the main factor causing structural failure. Therefore, it is very crucial to establish a rock damage evolution model to investigate the crack development process and reveal the failure and instability mechanism of rock under load. In this study, four di...
