A Mohr circle construction for the opening of a pre-existing fracture

RJH Jolly, DJ Sanderson - Journal of Structural Geology, 1997 - Elsevier
The opening of a fracture is dependent on the fluid pressure and the local stress regime
around the fracture. For a fracture to open, the fluid pressure must exceed the normal stress …
