Influence of specimen size on fracture toughness of sandstone when using SCB specimen

In order to investigate the effect of specimen size on the mode I fracture toughness using Semi-Circular Bend (SCB) specimen, we experimentally studied the fracture toughness using SCB and Short Rod (SR) specimens, both of which are International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) suggested methods,...
