Results of simulations, after drilling, for the four stress states (see "Numerical approach" section for definition of cases A, B, C and D). Each red point corresponds to the apparition of a tensile crack, each blue point corresponds to the occurrence of a shearing crack. The total number of cracks is mentioned in each subplot. The field of view for each subplot is 1 m × 1 m
