Evaluation of Mode I Fracture Toughness Assisted by the Numerical Determination of K-Resistance

Evaluation of Mode I Fracture Toughness Assisted by the Numerical Determination of K-Resistance

The fracture toughness of a rock often varies depending on the specimen shape and the loading type used to measure it. To investigate the mode I fracture toughness using semi-circular bend (SCB) specimens, we experimentally studied the fracture toughness using SCB and chevron bend (CB) specimens, th...
