Continuous-discontinuous element method for three-dimensional thermal cracking of rocks
Thermal cracking of rocks can significantly affect the durability of underground structures in engineering practices such as geothermal energy extraction, storage of nuclear waste and tunnelling in freeze–thaw cycle induced areas. It is a scenario of strong coupled thermomechanical process involving...
