Numerical study and pilot evaluation of experimental data measured on specimen loaded by bending and wedge splitting forces [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 The fracture mechanical properties of silicate based materials are determined from various fracture mechanicals tests, e.g. three- or four- point bending test, wedge splitting test, modified compact tension test etc.

Fatigue crack behaviour: comparing three-point bend test and wedge splitting test data on vibrated concrete using Paris' law [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 The fatigue behaviour of concrete has become more important for the design of constructions due to the desire to build slimmer structures, which are more sensitive to fatigue loading.

Multi-parameter crack tip stress state description for estimation of fracture process zone extent in silicate composite WST specimens [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2013 For wedge splitting test specimens, the stress and displacement fields both in the vicinity and also in larger distance from the crack tip are investigated by means of numerical methods. Several variants of boundary conditions were modeled.

Fracture Behaviour of Concrete with Reactive Magnesium Oxide as Alternative Binder
Applied Sciences, 2021 This research evaluates the fracture behavior of concrete with reactive magnesium oxide (MgO). Replacing cement with MgO is an attractive option for the concrete industry, mainly due to sustainability benefits and reduction of shrinkage.

Determining fracture energy parameters of concrete from the modified compact tension test [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 The modified compact tension (MCT) test, though not yet recognized as a valid test for determining fracture energy of concrete, is believed to represent a plausible and suitable alternative versus other well established procedures, such as the wedge ...

Asymmetric creep modeling of common refractory ceramics with high temperature wedge splitting test
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2021 Common refractory ceramics display significant asymmetric creep behavior at high temperatures under uniaxial loading conditions. This study introduces an advanced asymmetric creep model based on the stress path in the hydrostatic pressure–von Mises ...

A projection-based approach to extend digital volume correlation for 4D spacetime measurements
Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2023 In-situ (tomography) experiments are generally based on scans reconstructed from a large number of projections acquired under constant deformation of samples. Standard digital volume correlation (DVC) methods are based on a limited number of scans due to
