Application of an average strain energy density criterion to obtain the mixed mode fracture load of granite rock tested with the cracked asymmetric four-point bend specimens (2017, background): “The maximum tangential stress based criteria [16-20], the maximum tangential strain based criteria [21-24], the minimum strain energy density based criteria [25] and the maximum energy release rate or G criterion [26] are”

On the link between fracture toughness, tensile strength, and fracture process zone in anisotropic rocks (2018, background): “In231 other words, when the FPZ is large enough compared to the size of the crack and crack ligaments,232 higher order terms of the elastic solution also play a role in stress characterisation near the crack233 tip, and influence the FPZ development (Smith et al., 2001; Aliha et al., 2010).”
