Incomplete Crack Sealing Causes Localization of Fracturing in Hydrothermal Quartz Veins
Abstract Cyclic microfracturing and epitaxial crystal growth have long been recognized in crack‐seal veins, but an understanding of a single crack‐seal cycle is still missing. Here we present a phase‐field model that includes both fracture mechanics of crack propagation, and epitaxial crystal growth...
