Crack initiation and propagation in molded gypsum specimens with pre-cracked single flaws
Discontinuities in rocks can affect the strength and stiffness of rocks which are important factors in rock mechanics. This study aims to observe the initiation and propagation of cracks emanating from a single pre-existing flaw in molded gypsum specimens when tested in uniaxial compression. The eff...
