Numerical simulation of creep fracture evolution in fractured rock masses
The initiation, expansion, and penetration of microscopic cracks in rock is the macroscopic manifestation of creep. This paper investigates mechanical creep characteristics and fracture evolution processes in rock masses with different fracture angles, lengths, and rock bridge dip angles. Single fra...
