Fatigue Characteristics and Fracture Mechanism of Preflawed Sandstone Subjected to Cyclic Loading
This study comprehensively investigates the fatigue characteristics and fracture behavior of flawed sandstone specimens. Triaxial monotonic and cyclic loading tests are conducted on flawed sandstone specimens with various flaw inclination angles ( β = 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90°). The results indicated that the charac...
