Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A novel test specimen configuration and modified ring test method for determining the fracture toughness KIC, using rock core is disclosed. The use of a truncated hollow cylindrical specimen under compressive load avoids the development of a large process zone (microcracked region) during testing, thus allowing accurate fracture toughness measurements on subsized specimens. Results using soft sandstones and Indiana limestone validate the procedure.
