stress at which stable microcracking begins in brittle rock under compression, often near 30 to 50 percent of peak strength.

In rock mechanics, crack initiation stress refers to stress at which stable microcracking begins in brittle rock under compression, often near 30 to 50 percent of peak strength. This meaning comes from Martin (1994) in International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts.[1]
