Layered materials, such as sedimentary rocks, are ubiquitous. A newly developed fracture toughness test specimen, which is semi-circular in shape and contains an edge-crack, is subjected to three-point-bend loading. The fracture load and the fracture energy of a layered rock are then measured with s

A dynamic FEM (finite element method) and a strain gage method are applied to analyze the dynamic fracture toughness and SIF (stress intensity factor) for PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). The analyses are carried out for plates with an edge crack subjected to one-point bending in a plane of the plate
The dynamic fatigue life equation is appfied to uniaxial tensile test. The resultant equations for the surface energy and fracture toughness are calculated with the data from the tensile test and compared with the ones from ASTM E399 test. During the crack propagation under model loading, the materi
