Crack Coalescence in Molded Gypsum and Carrara Marble: Part 1. Macroscopic Observations and Interpretation (2009, methodology): “Successful applications of this model include the modeling of borehole breakout (e.g. Lee & Haimson, 1993), surface spalling and breakage associated with tunnel instability (Germanovich & Dyskin, 2000, Cai et al., 2004, Mitaim & Detournay, 2004).”
Experimental Investigation on Strength and Failure Behavior of Pre-cracked Marble Under Conventional Triaxial Compression (2008, background): “Therefore the growth mechanisms of 3D crack is nearer to rock engineering practice, but the mechanism of 3D crack growth is more complicated (Germanovich and Dyskin, 2000) than that of 2D crack growth.”
Experimental Study on the Growth, Coalescence and Wrapping Behaviors of 3D Cross-Embedded Flaws Under Uniaxial Compression (2018, background): “For specimens containing the 3D pre-existing embedded crack, Dyskin and co-authors (Dyskin et al. 1994a, b, 2003; Germanovich and Dyskin 2000; Sahouryeh et al. 2002) conducted a series of uniaxial compression tests on transparent specimens made from resin, PMMA and borosilicate glass.”
