description Abstract The dynamic crack propagation trajectories play a crucial role in enhancing our understanding of spatial mechanisms involved in crack expansion. However, visualization of internal cracks under complex crack conditions has always been a challenge. Biological networks have been honed by many cycles of evolutionary selection pressure and are likely to yield reasonable solutions to such combinatorial optimization problems. This study applied the slime mould algorithm to improve the accuracy of internal crack localization in rocks and employed Minimum spanning tree and Gaussian mixture model to construct the crack propagation trajectories. By introducing the concept of bond length, the evolution characteristics of crack levels were effectively characterized. Research results showed that this approach effectively preserves essential crack localization information while mitigating the influence of interfering parameters, providing crack characterization results that exhibit high consistency with actual fracture patterns. The curves of cumulative bond length and relative bond length over time conform to the trend of a Growth/Sigmoidal curve. The strength of the bond was correlated with the temporal process of crack propagation. This result could be helpful for analyzing crack trajectories and predicting rock stability.
