Deformation localization and crack propagation of sandstone containing different flaw inclination angles under different loading rates

Defects with varying geometric distribution in the rock mass play a crucial role in determining the stability of engineered rock masses. Previous studies have primarily investigated the initiation, propagation, and coalescence behaviors of flaws within rock masses. Nevertheless, there has been limit...
