Effect of anisotropy on fracture toughness of sandstone by SCB specimen

The deformation and strength properties of rocks are often affected by internal structures of rock, such as bedding planes, microcracks, etc. These structures may cause the mechanical anistorpy, and crack growth may be also affected the internal structures. In this study, we use the sedimentary rock...
