For rock engineering projects, the cutting and fragmenting of rocks has attracted much attention. Exploring the fracture characteristics of rocks is helpful in achieving efficient and sustainable excavation for mining and tunneling engineering. The fracture toughness of rocks is a crucial mechanical indicator that weighs the initiation and extension of cracks during the breaking process.…
