TY - JOUR TI - Effect of microwave irradiation direction on tensile properties of granite Brazilian disc test AU - Wang Yun-Long AU - Yang Ben-Gao AU - Zhang Dong AU - Zhou Xue-Min AU - Xie Jing JN - Thermal Science PY - 2025 VL - 29 IS - 2 SP - 1089 EP - 1094 PT - Article AB - Investigating the tensile properties of rock under varying microwave irradiation directions is essential for understanding the mechanical behavior of microwave-induced rock breaking. A continuous-discrete method is employed to analyze the tensile properties of granite disc samples under three different microwave irradiation directions. The results indicate the variable tensile properties of granite Brazilian disc under different microwave irradiation directions.
