A Study on the Influence of the Conglomerate Mesostructure on Fracture Failure Behavior Based on Discrete Element Method

Figure 12

Curve of fracture toughness simulation test results. Shown in the figures are the curves of the variable (the load and the crack number) with the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) of the three sets of experimental. The blue lines are the load. The green lines are the number of shear cracks. The red lines are the number of tensile cracks.
