In this paper, coupled static-dynamic loading tests were conducted on oven-dried and water-saturated sandstone specimens with 0–62.5 MPa axial pre-stresses. An energy-based model on multiple cracks initiation from a crack tip has been proposed to capture the physical process of fracture, which can be used to predict and analyse the fracture behaviours of cracked rocks and rock-model materials under compressive-shear loading. The rate of cooling of a magma or lava is reflected by the _____ of the rock. The UCS and the BTS values of granites decrease generally with increasing surface temperature after 200 °C and 100 °C, respectively. Two types of fractured Gonghe granite specimens, containing either a Brazilian-induced artificial fracture and or a pre-existing natural fracture, respectively, were considered. So you would need to provide some additional information in order to provide a "short answer" that is correct. Granite is an intrusive felsic (silicic) plutonic rock. Issues such as the rate of cooling of magmas are critical to young-earth creationists, since the timescales usually envisaged for the cooling of such large bodies of magma as granite batholiths are usually quoted in the order of from hundreds of thousands of years to tens of millions of years. If the magma cools quickly, the crystals do not have much time to form, so they are very small. When treating the specimens with microwave energy, crackings and/or meltings occur depending on the applied power, the exposure duration, and the mineral content. Cooling Rate: fast, extrusive; Intrusive Equivalent: granite; Other Characteristics: tuffs commonly contain pumice and rock fragments; OBSIDIAN. The samples are saturated by water in vacuum. The obtained values are given in Table A1 of Appendix and plotted in Fig. Anti- The financial support by the National Key Research and Development Program of China (Grant Nos.
