The shape function method of nonlinear thermal stress of granite fracture tips in a high-temperature environment

Abstract Exposed rock masses in tunnel portals are susceptible to thermal deterioration in southern China, where temperatures are relatively high. The thermal stress field of rock masses is affected by fracture shape and distribution as fractures near the surface are channels for solar radiation ene...
