Microcrack Coalescence

Microcrack Coalescence is a mechanical failure process in brittle materials whereby spatially proximate microcracks propagate and dynamically link to form macroscopic fracture zones under applied stress, distinguishing it from isolated microcracking or distributed damage mechanisms in rock and ice fracture systems.
