Study on crack evolutional behavior of rocks in triaxial compression based on colony growth dynamics model

Abstract The crack propagation behavior of rock during compression involves complex mechanisms. Describing the growth behavior of a large number of cracks with conventional mechanical models is a major challenge. Therefore, in this work, we propose a new method to describe crack growth behavior by c...
