Size effect on the fracture resistance of rough and frictional cracks

Elastic fracture mechanics commonly defines the fracture resistance of brittle materials within an idealized picture of planar and traction-free cracks. An efficient approach to describe the interface conditions in real cracks, such as those occurring in concrete, ceramics or stones, is to include t...
