A new mixed-mode phase-field model for crack propagation of brittle rock

Study on crack propagation process of brittle rock is of most significance for cracking-arrest design and cracking-network optimization in rock engineering. Phase-field model (PFM) has advantages of simplicity and high convergence over the common numerical methods (e.g. finite element method, discre...
