Experimental Study on Stress Corrosion Index Governing Time-Dependent Degradation of Rock Strength

Rock fractures in geological conditions are caused not only by applied stress, but also by stress corrosion. Stress corrosion is an environmentally activated chemical process, associated with the fluid-assisted crack growth. Crack growth due to stress corrosion is related to the time-dependent behav...
