Simulated results with the proposed simulation method with 5 Mpa confining stress. (A). The deviatoric stress–strain curve and energy curves for which the boundary energy is the sum of the fracture energy and the strain energy; (B). The crack length and crack increment over axial strain; (C). The deviatoric stress–strain curve; (D). The deviatoric stress curves over axial, lateral and volumetric strain.
