The Loading Rate Effect on the Fracture Toughness of Marble Using Semicircular Bend Specimens

A series of dynamic fracture experiments on semicircular bend (SCB) marble specimens were conducted to characterize the loading rate effect using the INSTRON testing machine and the modified SHPB testing system. The fracture toughness of the marble specimens was measured from a low loading rate to a...
