Dynamic notched semi-circle bend (NSCB) method for measuring fracture properties of rocks: Fundamentals and applications

Rocks are increasingly used in extreme environments characterised by high loading rates and high confining pressures. Thus the fracture properties of rocks under dynamic loading and confinements are critical in various rock mechanics and rock engineering problems. Due to the transient nature of dyna...
