Investigating the effects of confining pressure and loading rate on damage propagation and mode I stress intensity factor of granite using the RHT constitutive model

Abstract This study explores influence of confining pressure and loading rate on the mode I stress intensity factor (SIF) and damage propagation rate in cracked straight-through Brazilian disc (CSTBD) specimens. Driven by need to improve material reliability in applications like geotechnical and str...
