Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics Characterization of an Anisotropic Shale. [PDF]
AbstractThe existence of bedding planes in natural shale formations makes the fracture characterization remarkably complicated. To achieve a further understanding of the anisotropic crack extension behaviors of shale using a linear elastic fracture mechanics approach, four groups of three-point bending tests on Longmaxi shale from southeast Chongqing ...

Pilot evaluation of a fracture process zone in a modified compact tension specimen by X-ray tomography [PDF]
In the case of quasi-brittle material, there is a zone of non-linear behaving material, near the crack tip. A major part of this zone forms a socalled fracture process zone (FPZ), where mechanisms of material toughening take place.

Basal hydrofractures near sticky patches
Basal crevasses are macroscopic structural discontinuities at the base of ice sheets and glaciers that arise by fracture. Motivated by observations and by the mechanics of elastic fracture, we hypothesise that spatial variations in basal stress (in the ...
