Numerical simulation of crack growth process in Brazilian disk test using finite element method

Accurately simulating the compressive and tensile mechanical behavior of rock is one of the challenges faced by numerical simulation. In this paper, the rock's triaxial compression experiment and the Brazilian disk simulation were simulated, and the propagation process of the rock crack was simulated in Brazilian disk test in the finite element method. According to the experimental data, the KCC model was completely modified and the triaxial...
