In this paper we review experimental and field observations of the process zone, 4, size dependence in concrete and rock and suggest that a valid K,, test for such materials may require impractically large specimen sizes. Direct application of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) to toughness te

The effect of thickness and temperature on deformation and fracture behavior is investigated in notched bend specimens of mild steel in low temperature region using a photo-elastic coating technique. The plastic constraint factor is determined and compared with the theoretical value obtained by slip
Abatraet-A model is presented which describes the relationship of plane strain fracture toughness (K,,) and yield strength of particle-reinforced metal matrix composites. Tensile tests and fracture toughness tests were conducted on five aluminum 2014-T6 metal matrix composites reinforced with 10 and
