Fracture toughness design in equine hoof wall

This study applied an engineering -fracture mechanics approach to the investigation of the fracture resistance of Equine hoof wall. The fracture mechanics parameters of stress intensity factor (K), strain energy release rate (G) and the J-integral (J) were used to determine the effect of notch...
