Microscopic Investigation of Rate Dependence on Three-Point Notched-Tip Bending Sandstone

The cracking process in rock or concrete is usually characterized by the formation of microcracks that eventually form a propagating macrocrack. A series of three-point bending experiments were performed on sandstone containing Mode I crack under different loading rates. The microscopic monitoring s...
