Numerical Simulation of Crack Propagation and Branching Behaviors in Heterogeneous Rock-like Materials

The characterization and understanding of crack evolution in non-uniform geological structures are crucial for predicting the mechanical response of rock-like materials or structures under varying loading conditions. In this study, an improved Peridynamic model with a degree of heterogeneity charact...
