Crack Initiation, Propagation, and Coalescence Experiments in Sandstone Brazilian Disks Containing Pre-Existing Flaws
This study aims to investigate the fracture behaviors of cracks and crack systems in Brazilian disk (BD) sandstone specimens under compressive line loading. We conduct a series of rock fracture experiments to investigate crack initiation, propagation, and coalescence in samples with one or more pre-...
