Effects of Temperature on the Relationship between Mode-I Fracture Toughness and Tensile Strength of Rock

Fracture toughness is used to characterize rock resistance to fracturing and it is important in theoretical research and engineering applications. Mode-I fracture toughness can be predicted on the basis of an empirical relationship between fracture toughness (<i>K<sub>IC</sub></...
