A Study of the Failure Mechanism of Planar Non-Persistent Open Joints Using PFC2D (2012, methodology): “Vasarhelyi and Bobet (2000) have used DDM to model the crack initiation, propagation and coalescence between the two bridged flaws in gypsum under uniaxial compression.”
Crack Initiation, Propagation and Coalescence in Rock-Like Material Containing Two Flaws: a Numerical Study Based on Bonded-Particle Model Approach (2013, methodology): “those crack types presented in Zhang and Wong (2012). The terms first cracks and secondary cracks are only used for indicating a temporal relationship of crack initiation events, without implying the nature (tensile/shear) of the cracks.”
An experimental and numerical study of fracture coalescence in pre-cracked specimens under uniaxial compression (2011, unknown): “For practical purposes, three criteria are mainly applied (Bobet and Einstein, 1998b; Vásárhelyi and Bobet, 2000): the maximum tangential stress theory (Erdogan and Sih, 1963), maximum energy release rate theory (Hussian et al.”
Numerical Simulation of Crack Growth and Coalescence in Rock-Like Materials Containing Multiple Pre-existing Flaws (2015, methodology): “Vasarhelyi and Bobet (2000) applied the DDM to model crack initiation, propagation, and coalescence between two bridged flaws in gypsum under uniaxial compression.”
