Abstract:The fracture parameters of rocks, including fracture toughness and fracture energy, represent their resistance to crack propagation under external stress. These parameters play a critical role in engineering design, construction safety, geological mechanics research, and rock material assessment. This study determined the fracture parameters of granite under Mode I loading conditions using notched semicircular bend (NSCB) and single-edge notched beam (SENB) specimens. Although there was little difference betwe… Show more
