Dataset for Brittle Creep and Brittle Failure of Rocks: a reformulation of the wing crack model

brittleCreepScript.nb - Commented Mathematica Notebook script containing the steps needed to plot Figure 8 Mechanical_data.mat - mechanical data from tertiary creep of Etna basalt (Mansbach 2022), Iceland basalt (Xing et al. 2022), Inada Granite and Thala limestone (Brantut et al. 2013), Darley Dale sandstone and Etna Basalt (Heap 2009) and glass (Mallet et al. 2015) experiments. Data structure: First column - time (min), second column - axial strain (%), third column (where available) - differential stress (MPa). data_plotting.m - Matlab script for plotting all strain - time data found in Mechanical_data.mat.
