Abstract
Failure in brittle rock happens because micro-cracks in the crystal structure coalesce and form a localized fracture. The propagation of the fracture is in turn strongly influenced by dissipation in the fracture process zone. The classical theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics falls short in describing failure when the dissipation in the fracture process zone is non-negligible; thus, a non-linear theory should be employed instead. Here we...
