Multi-parameter crack tip stress state description for estimation of fracture process zone extent in silicate composite WST specimens

For wedge splitting test specimens, the stress and displacement fields both in the vicinity and also in larger distance from the crack tip are investigated by means of numerical methods. Several variants of boundary conditions were modeled. The stress intensity factor K, T-stress and even higher-ord...
