Effects of temperature and confining pressure on mixed-mode (I-II) and mode II fracture toughness of Kimachi sandstone

Effects of temperature and confining pressure on mixed-mode (I-II) and mode II fracture toughness of Kimachi sandstone

Highlights. •Fracture toughness of a sandstone was measured using semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen. •Mode I, mode II and mixed mode (I–II) fracture toughness was investigated. •Fracture toughness was found to be dependent on the temperature and the confining pressure. •Test results showed only limi...
