Fracture Network Evolution

Fracture Network Evolution is a theoretical framework that characterizes the progressive development and spatial-temporal reorganization of interconnected brittle fractures in geological materials under stress, distinguished by its focus on the dynamic interactions and scaling laws governing fracture initiation, propagation, and connectivity over time.
