Popis: Objective Rock fracturing and its subsequent activations are the most basic tectonic deformation modes. However, the classical fracturing criteria (Coulomb-Mohr criterion, Griffith criterion, and Byerlee sliding-friction law) have different limitations in practical applications. Methods Based on the classical fracturing criteria and the analysis of the physical nature of fracturing generation (extensional fracturing and shear fracturing), combined with the generalized shear activation criterion and long-term research practice, a "generalized fracturing activation criterion" is proposed through theoretical analysis in this paper. Conclusion This criterion can be used to quantitatively determine the possibility and types of fracturing of any medium, under any triaxial stress state, and at any orientation interface (including pre-existing weak surface and non-weakness surface). It unifies the Coulomb-Mohr criterion, Byerlee's law, and Griffith's criterion, and extends fracturing to fracturing activation. Significance The proposed criterion has broad application prospects in the fracturing activation-related resource (such as shale gas and hot, dry rock) exploration and development and prediction and prevention of natural disasters (such as earthquakes and landslides).
