Tomographic investigation of the sandstone fracture toughness
Vavřík, Daniel ; Beneš, Pavel ; Fíla, Tomáš ; Koudelka_ml., Petr ; Kumpová, Ivana ; Vavro, Martin
It is well known that the measured values of the fracture toughness of quasi brittle materials are influenced by material heterogeneity, dimensions, boundary conditions, and unequal tension and compression properties. Standard testing methods supposing isotropic material, in contrary the quasi-brittle materials differ from this theoretical expectation, therefore this approach may fail. The authors present Local Fracture Toughness Testing (LFTT) method to overcome this obstacle. LFFT based on a complex methodology using a series of tomographic reconstructions recorded during specimen loading is calculated independently of the outside boundary conditions.
