Study on the Influence of Different Prophase Stress Levels on the Fatigue Damage Characteristics of Granite by Tianzuo Wang, Mengya Xue, Peng Sha, Fei Xue, Linxiang Wang

“…In order to reveal the influence of prophase stress levels on the fatigue damage characteristics of granite, uniaxial fatigue tests of granite with different prophase stress levels were carried out on the basis of the MTS 815.04 rock mechanics test system. The results show that, under the same number of cycles, the failure degree increases with the increase of the prophase stress level. …”
