Influence of grain size heterogeneity on strength and microcracking behavior of crystalline rocks (2017, methodology): “The heterogeneity effect on the mechanical behavior of rocks under compressive loading is studied using this method [Liu et al., 2004; Wong et al., 2006].”
A novel approach for micro‐scale characterization and modeling of geomaterials incorporating actual material heterogeneity (2012, methodology): “The most common approach used in practice today is to incorporate heterogeneity through a stochastic distribution of properties (e.g., Weibull distribution) both in terms of elastic properties and strength parameters [e.g., Wong et al., 2006; Fang and Harrison, 2002].”
Crack Initiation, Propagation and Coalescence in Rock-Like Material Containing Two Flaws: a Numerical Study Based on Bonded-Particle Model Approach (2013, background): “…interaction of the micro-tensile cracks leads then to the formation of shear bands which cause the final failure (Brace et al. 1966; Diederichs 2003; Fonseka et al. 1985; Lan et al. 2010; Martin and Chandler 1994; Menendez et al. 1996; Tapponnier and Brace 1976; Wong 1982; Wong et al. 2006).”
Influence of microscale heterogeneity and microstructure on the tensile behavior of crystalline rocks (2014, methodology): “A common means of incorporating heterogeneity into numerical models is via a stochastic distribution of properties, for instance, a Weibull distribution of elastic and strength properties [Tang et al., 2000; Wong et al., 2006; Fang and Harrison, 2002; Liu et al., 2004; Potyondy and Cundall, 2004].”
