Characterization of rock material by point load strength index test and direct cut
Minerva, 2021 The objective of this work is to establish a relationship between the cutting time in rocks, determining a speed and the point load strength index test, Is (50), to characterize the rock in terms of resistance and avoid sending samples to laboratories. As a first stage, on andesite samples, 5 x 5 x 10 cm test tubes were made. After the elaboration they

Damage process of a fiber bundle with a strain gradient [PDF]
, 2008 We study the damage process of fiber bundles in a wedge-shape geometry which ensures a constant strain gradient. To obtain the wedge geometry we consider the three-point bending of a bar, which is modelled as two rigid blocks glued together by a thin ...
