Numerical investigation of alternative fracture stiffness measures and their respective scaling behaviours

ABSTRACT We study the mechanical deformation of fractures under normal stress, via tangent and specific fracture stiffnesses, for different length scales using numerical simulations and analytical insights. First, we revisit an equivalent elastic layer model that leads to two expressions: the tangen...
