Faulting of Rocks in a Three-Dimensional Stress Field by Micro-Anticracks

Nucleation and propagation of a shear fault is known to be the result of interaction and coalescence of many microcracks. Yet the character and rate of the microcracks' interactions, and their dependence on the three-dimensional stress state are poorly understood. Here we investigate formation...
