Improving the Accuracy of Fracture Toughness Measurement in Burst Experiments

Guanyi Lu, Yixuan Zhang

Experimental studies suggest that the fracture toughness of rocks increases with the confining pressure. Among many methods to quantify this dependency, a so-called burst experiment (Abou-Sayed, 1978) may be the most widely applied in practice. Its thick w ...
