Correlating mode-I fracture toughness and mechanical properties of heat-treated crystalline rocks
For the effect of thermal treatment on the mode-I fracture toughness (FT), three crystalline rocks (two basalts and one tonalite) were experimentally investigated. Semi-circular bend specimens of the rocks were prepared following the method suggested by the International Society for Rock Mechanics (...
