A bonded particle model for analysis of the flaw orientation effect on crack propagation mechanism in brittle materials under compression
In this paper, implementation of a bonded particle model (BPM) using PFC2D was proposed to study the effect of the flaw orientation on the crack propagation mechanism in brittle materials such as rocks under various compressive loads. For this purpose, several pre-cracked rock specimens with differe...
