Quantitative investigation of the cracking mechanism of 3D sand-printed rock containing a fold flaw

Natural discontinuities originating inside rocks are often distributed in folds rather than simple straights. To represent the details of fold-shaped flaws, rock-like specimens containing a fold flaw are created by 3D sand printing, and cases involving four undulation angles (α) are considered. Unia...
