Development of a standard method for determining the plane strain fracture toughness of rock
A number of standard methods have been proposed to determine the Mode I plane strain fracture toughness of rock. The semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen has been widely used for fracture toughness determination of geomaterials owing to inherent favourable properties such as its simplicity, minimal req...
