Static-dynamic failure of truly 3D-compressed granite with a free face with natural fracture and the short-impending prediction

Key Points

• Static failure occurs when granite is subjected to 3D compression and friction from natural fractures, leading to structural collapse.
• The analysis highlights short-impending predictions of dynamic failure under specific conditions, enhancing safety protocols.
• Static and dynamic failure mechanisms were assessed using compressive and tensile strength metrics, yielding critical insights.
• Results indicate the necessity for simulations to anticipate failure in granite structures with existing fractures.
