Influence of orientation on fracture toughness and tensile moduli in Berkeley granite

Influence of orientation on fracture toughness and tensile moduli in Berkeley granite [electronic resource]

Fracture toughness and tensile modulus values for Berkeley granite show pronounced orientation dependence. Apparent fracture toughness values (K{sub Q}) correspond to natural strong and weak planes in the rock: cracks propagated in the head grain (strongest) plane have K{sub Q} = 1.81 MPa ..sqrt..m,...
