Overcoming two inherent limitations presented by the standard bonded‐particle model (BPM), the flat‐jointed model still lacks extensive application. This study hereby conducts a comprehensive investigation on the application of the flat‐jointed model in rock mechanics study. First, after a careful examination on the mechanical behavior of the flat‐joint contact, a systematic calibration has been conducted...
Understanding the microcrack nucleation is of a fundamental importance in the study of rock fracturing process. Due to variations in texture and mineralogy, different rocks may show different distinctive microcrack nucleation mechanisms. In order to understand the microcrack nucleation mechanisms in Carrara marble comprehensively, localized damage zones are artificially produced by loading specimens...
