Evaluation of fracture response of Silesian granite specimens via Effective Crack Model approach and finite element analysis
Malíková, L. ; Vavro, Leona ; Vavro, Martin ; Keršner, Z.
The paper is focused on the advanced evaluation of fracture tests of selected rock specimens. Assessment of fracture response of chevron notch cylindrical specimens of Silesian granite subjected to three-point bending test was performed. The effective crack model is used and academic software chevroncylinder (author Petr Frantík) based on the finite element method is applied for the analyses. Based on the described procedures, estimation of maximum values of the effective fracture toughness are established and discussed.
Characterization of Božanov sandstone: pilot fracture tests
Kumpová, I. ; Rozsypalová, I. ; Vavro, Leona ; Vavro, Martin ; Keršner, Z.
The aim of this paper is a characterization ofsandstone from Božanov quarry near Broumov, Czech Republic,by means of the pilot fracture tests. Five drill-core test specimens withnominal diameter of 50mm and lengths of 100 and 125mmwere provided by an initial chevron type notch. Specimens were loaded in the configuration of the three-point bending as a displacement driven experimentusing LabTest 6.250 equipment in the laboratory of the Institute of Building Testing, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology. The load versus displacement diagrams were used to quantify the basic mechanical fracture parameters of the studied sandstone: modulus of elasticity, fracture toughness, toughness, and specific fracture energy.
