Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and nanoindentation investigation of the crack tip process zone in marble

This study explores the interaction between crack initiation and nanomechanical properties in the crack-tip fracture process zone of Carrara marble. Specimens with preexisting cracks were loaded in a uniaxial testing machine until the process zone appeared at the tips of the preexisting cracks. ESEM...
