The role of mineralogical and textural complexity in the damage evolution of brittle rocks by Özge Dinç Göğüş, Elif Avşar, Kayhan Develi, Ayten Çalık

“…This study explores how rock texture influences the evolution of cracking networks and progressive rock damage results under uniaxial compression. 3D discrete analyses were employed to identify the critical stresses of three different rock types. …”
