Sublinear scaling of fracture aperture versus length: An exception or the rule?

Observations of natural fracture dimensions have sparked a continuing debate as to the nature of the fundamental relationship between fracture aperture (maximum opening) and length. On the basis of theoretical fracture mechanics, some have argued aperture‐to‐length scaling should be linear. This rel...
