Fracture toughness measurements on igneous rocks using a high-pressure, high-temperature rock fracture mechanics cell
A sound knowledge of mechanical properties of rocks at high temperatures and pressures is essential for modelling volcanological problems such as fracture of lava flows and dike emplacement. In particular, fracture toughness is a scale invariant material property of a rock that describes its resistance to tensile failure. A new fracture mechanics apparatus has been constructed enabling fracture...
متن کاملOn Applicability of Some Indirect Tests for Estimation of Tensile Strength of Anisotropic Rocks
The tensile strength of rocks plays a noteworthy role in their failure mechanism, and its determination can be beneficial in optimizing the design of the rock structures. Schistose rocks due to their inherent anisotropy in different foliation directions show a diverse strength at each direction. The purpose of this work was to compare and assess the tensile strength of phyllite, which was obtai...
متن کاملEffect of Microstructural Variations on the Tensile and Fracture Toughness Properties of Alloy 718 Welds
The effect of microstructural variations on the tensile and fracture toughness properties of Alloy 718 welds is reviewed. The microstructural parameters surveyed include heat treatment, longterm thermal aging and neutron irradiation. The two heat treatments that were characterized include the conventional heat treatment, per ASTM B637, and a modified heat treatment designed to improve the tough...
متن کاملEffect of Rock Fracture Filling on Mode I and II Fracture Toughness
This paper focuses on some fracture toughness tests performed on the pre-cracked Brazilian specimens of rock-like materials. Also the effect of rock fracture filling on the fracture toughness was considered experimentally. Fracture toughness is a key parameter for studying the crack propagation and fragmentation processes in rock structures. Fracture mechanics is an applicable tool to improve ...
متن کاملOn the Fracture Toughness of Advanced Materials
S E On the Fracture Toughness of Advanced Materials A R C H By Maximilien E. Launey, and Robert O. Ritchie* N E W S Few engineering materials are limited by their strength; rather they are limited by their resistance to fracture or fracture toughness. It is not by accident that most critical structures, such as bridges, ships, nuclear pressure vessels and so forth, are manufactured from materia...
