TLDR
The mechanisms by which cracks extend from flaws in brittle materials subjected to compressive loads are presented in this paper, where they are restricted to single-phase, dense materials in order to provide a model amenable to analysis and experimental confirmation.About:

Rheology of the lithosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the work on materials appropriate to the oceanic lithosphere with emphasis on contributions during the quadrennial period and the need for future work.

Microcracks in rocks: a review
TL;DR: A review of recent work on microcracks in rock can be found in this paper, with a focus on the morphogenesis, kinematics, dynamics, population statistics and observational techniques.

Influence of shape and locations of initial 3-D cracks on their growth in uniaxial compression
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the 3D growth of wing cracks produced by a single pre-existing crack in uniaxial compression and found that there were intrinsic limits on 3-D wing cracks due to the wrapping of emerging wings around the initial crack.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of brittle fracture of rock with pre-existing cracks in compression
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D crack propagation in transparent rock-like brittle materials under uniaxial compression is studied. But the results show that a single 3D fracture cannot propagate any appreciable distance and the loading results in dynamic, burst-like failure of the sample.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coalescence of two parallel pre-existing surface cracks in granite
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) to analyze the captured images producing strain fields during the cracking process, and thus reveal the mode of cracking (either tensile, shear or their combination).

The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.

Dilatancy in the Fracture of Crystalline Rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured volume changes of a granite, a marble, and an aplite during deformation in triaxial compression at confining pressure of as much as 8 kb.
