Damage characteristics of thermally treated granite under uniaxial compression: Insights from active and passive ultrasonic techniques
To explore the effects of thermal treatment on cracking processes in granite, granite samples were thermally treated at 25–400 °C and then loaded under uniaxial compression. Active ultrasonic testing and passi...
