Particle flow simulation experiments on the influence of non-penetrating random fractures on the deformation and failure characteristics of sandstone by Wangxuan Zhu, Qingbiao Guo, Xiang Hua, Jin Luo, Jiasheng Yang

“…Fractures in rock masses are significant factors that weaken the strength of rock masses and alter their failure modes, posing threats to the safety of various geotechnical engineering projects. To investigate the issue of fracture-induced weakening of rock mass strength and alteration of failure modes, this paper employs two fracture parameters—fracture density and individual fracture size—to characterize the random distribution of fractures. …”
