Tearing mesh

Rigging

What is the best workflow for tearing/ripping mesh?

I have a series of tubes, similar to rings in a tree. What I’m trying to do is show A tear or crack similar to this:

Its the process of a Herniated Disk degeneration. as each layer tears it acts like a rubber band and snaps causing the edges to look frayed.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
