Mechanical Mechanism and Propagation Law of Fissure-Tip Cracks of Large-Size Rock Specimens with Two Precut Fissures by Liming Yin, Ming Li, Wenbin Sun, Juntao Chen, Bin Liu, Ziqi Wang

“…In view of acoustic emission (AE), we calculated and obtained the spatial positions of stress peaks in each direction at the fissure tips; through comparison and analysis, the angle corresponding to the negative angle peak of the maximum circumferential tensile stress and the maximum radial tensile stress is basically the same as the angle of the main crack propagation direction generated from the preexisting fissure; it can be inferred that the tensile stress is the main stress inducing crack initiation and specimen failure, which is consistent with the physical characteristics of rock (resistant to compression but not tension). …”
