Abstract

The morphological characteristics of core disking can reflect the in-situ stress field characteristics to a certain extent, but a quantitative description method for disking-induced fracture surfaces is needed. The fractal geometry was introduced to refine the three-dimensional characteristics of the core disking fracture surfaces, and the disking mechanism was explored through morphological characteristics. The innovative concentric-different scale method was proposed to divide the circular surfaces into square surfaces of different sizes. Furthermore, the applicability of four cubic covering methods for single fractal calculation was studied. Finally, the relative differential cubic covering method and multifractal method were used to calculate the three-dimensional data of core disking fracture surfaces in the Jinping area. The results showed that the concentric-different scale method fits the fractal dimension changing law in the exploration of different surface sizes. Using the differential cubic covering method and the relative differential cubic covering method can obtain good results for smoother surfaces. The disking was caused by tensile stress due to high crustal stress unloading, and the cracks originated from the inside of the core. Fractal theory is conducive to analyzing the morphology of rock fracture surfaces and provides guidance for exploring the failure mechanism and influencing factors.
