Microcrack Development

Microcrack Development is a mechanical process in rock fracture mechanics characterized by the nucleation, growth, and coalescence of microscopic cracks within a rock mass under stress, distinguishing it from other damage mechanisms by its scale-specific initiation and propagation behavior in brittle geological materials.
