“…Plenty of attempts have been performed to reveal the mechanical response of rock subjected to cyclic loads. The effect of stress frequency, stress amplitude, stress level on rock strength (Singh 1988;Singh, 1989), deformation (Voznesenskii et al, 2016;Fan et al, 2019;Bai et al, 2021), hysteresis ratio (Song et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2017;Guo et al, 2018), energy dissipation (Peng et al, 2020;Song et al, 2020) and failure modes (Liu et al, 2018;Vaneghi et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2023) were investigated in the laboratory. Among the factors affecting rock fatigue mechanical behavior, stress amplitude and loading frequency have always been the focus of research.…”
