Rock Mass Failure Simulation Data for 3D Flaw Propagation Studies

Na Wu's dataset on figshare contains numerical simulation results for rock mass failure processes. The data, last updated in May 2026, is stored in a 5.5 KB XLS file. It systematically investigates the mechanical properties and failure processes of heterogeneous rock masses containing surface, through-going, and internal flaws under various stress conditions.

Use Cases

• Modeling wing and anti-wing flaw extension behavior based on stress path descriptions
• Analyzing peak strength enhancement under confining pressure for different flaw types
• Comparing tensile versus transverse coalescence failure modes based on intermediate principal stress direction
• Studying the effect of intermediate principal stress magnitude on mechanical properties for embedded, through-going, and surface flaws

Strengths

• Dataset is small at 5.5 KB, facilitating quick download and inspection.
• The description provides specific research findings on flaw propagation mechanisms and peak strength behavior.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
