a The separation of the fractures at different SP. b The location of the maximal and minimal separation on the fracture surfaces. c The average pressure of the proximal and distal fracture surfaces. Linear with SP (R = 0.99, P = 0.001). d The IPSA% of the fracture surfaces. Linear with SP (R = − 0.96, P = 0.01). e The improper stress area of the fracture surfaces. Each figure was superimposed by four fracture surfaces (two fashions of wiring, two fracture surfaces of a model)
