โฆ Synopsis
A formula using the indentation fracture technique is given to determine the fracture toughness of ceramic materials. Experimental data are in good agreement with those obtained by the four-point bending technique. The factors that influence K,, are further discussed

In the present study, static fracture toughness of ceramics is evaluated by a three point bending test using a precracked specimen. The obtained results are compared with the ones obtained by conventional static fracture toughness testing methods. Moreover, dynamic fracture toughness of ceramics is
The breakoff test method was developed as an in-situ testing procedure for determining the fracture toughness of concrete in a structure. The testing procedure involves breaking a notched cylindrical core that is drilled into the concrete. The breakoff tester was used to apply a load to the concrete
The suitability of the AC potential drop (ACPD) technique for detecting crack initiation and monitoring crack extension during slow stable growth has been investigated using side-grooved Charpy size specimens tested in three point bending.
