Modeling of crack initiation, propagation and coalescence in rocks

One of the most successful criteria proposed so far to describe the initiation and propagation of cracks under quasi-static loading in rock-like materials is a stress-based criterion developed by Bobet (Fracture coalescence in rock materials: experimental observations and numerical predictions.
