Modelling of size and shape of damage zone in quasi-brittle notched specimens – analytical approach based on fracture-mechanical evaluation of loading curves

An analysis focused on capturing the phenomenon of quasi-brittle fracture is presented. Selected parameters relevant for quasi-brittle fracture are evaluated and an assessment of their dependence on the size and shape of the test specimen is studied. Determination of these fracture characteristics i...
