Growth of three-dimensional fractures, arrays, and networks in brittle rocks under tension and compression

RN Thomas, A Paluszny, RW Zimmerman - Computers and Geotechnics, 2020 - Elsevier
Concurrent growth of multiple fractures in brittle rock is a complex process due to
mechanical interaction effects. Fractures can amplify or shield stress on other fracture tips …
