Scaling exponents for fracture surfaces in homogenous glass and glassy ceramics [PDF]
We investigate the scaling properties of post-mortem fracture surfaces in silica glass and glassy ceramics. In both cases, the 2D height-height correlation function is found to obey Family-Viseck scaling properties, but with two sets of critical ...

Structural formation and evolution mechanisms of fracture plugging zone
A coupled CFD-DEM method is used to simulate the formation process of fracture plugging zone. A photo-elastic system characterizing mesoscale force chain network developed by our own is used to model the pressure evolution in fracture plugging zone to ...

Slow crack growth in polycarbonate films [PDF]
We study experimentally the slow growth of a single crack in polycarbonate films submitted to uniaxial and constant imposed stress. The specificity of fracture in polycarbonate films is the appearance of flame shaped macroscopic process zones at the tips

Mechanical analysis of a shear-cracked RC beam
Shear crack analysis is essential for engineers to estimate repair work in concrete structures. So far, conventional theoretical and numerical analyses in fracture mechanics have been applied to study concrete flexural beams, but there is still little ...

Role of disorder in the size-scaling of material strength [PDF]
We study the sample size dependence of the strength of disordered materials with a flaw, by numerical simulations of lattice models for fracture. We find a crossover between a regime controlled by the fluctuations due to disorder and another controlled ...

Experimental Study on the Effect of Bedding on the Fracture Process Zone of Shale
The conventional fracture in shale hydraulic fracturing belongs to the type-I fracture, and the size of the fracture process zone (FPZ) is an important index to measure the fracability of rock mass.

Creep and Fracture in Concrete: A Fractional Order Rate Approach [PDF]
The paper analyses the interaction between strain-softening and time-dependent behaviour in the case of quasi-static fracture of concrete. A viscous element based on a fractional order rate law is coupled with a micromecanical model for the fracture ...

Modelling of the Influence of Tensile Test Speed on the Fracture Load
This investigation focuses on modelling the fracture zone of four materials at different test speeds. The influence of these test speeds on the fracture zone formula was investigated as well.

Permeability characteristics of fracture zone by high-pressure water injection tests
The permeability characteristics in different fracture zones of roadway floor are studied by the high-pressure water injection tests. A total of three boreholes are arranged and five water injection tests are carried out.
