Influence of grain size heterogeneity on strength and microcracking behavior of crystalline rocks (2017, background): “Many researchers investigated the microcracking behavior of crystalline rocks and found that the intragrain cracks occurred mostly in quartz grains [Akesson et al., 2004; Moore and Lockner, 1995; Peng and Johnson, 1972; Sprunt and Brace, 1974; Tapponnier and Brace, 1976; Tullis and Yund, 1977].”
Experimental investigation on mechanical damage characteristics of sandstone under triaxial cyclic loading (2015, background): “On the basis of experimental results for intact sandstone under static and dynamic uniaxial cyclic loading, Bagde & Petros (2005) found that Young’s modulus, UCS and stress energy increased with the loading frequency.”
Weathering of limestone building material by mixed sulfate solutions. Characterization of stone microstructure, reaction products and decay forms (2008, background): “Microcracking is highly dependent on the mineralogy, fabric, andmicrostructure of a given rock type [39].”
