Stress-dependence of elastic properties of rock containing finite cracks with contacting surfaces
In the present study we examine a modelling of stress-dependence of elastic properties of rocks. We develop a micromechanical theory of changes of the elastic moduli with external loading based on the crack stiffening by contacting asperities. We utilize exact solutions existent for annular crack, w...
