Evolution of rock brittleness under mechanical and thermal effects

Understanding rock brittleness plays an essential role in controlling the drilling and cutting efficiency in rock engineering for construction and energy applications. Numerous brittleness indices have been proposed to quantify rock brittleness under static and dynamic loads. However, rock brittlene...
