A refined description of the crack tip stress field in wedge-splitting specimens – a two-parameter fracture mechanics approach
The paper is focused on a detailed numerical analysis of the stress field in specimens used for the wedge splitting test (WST) which is an alternative to the classical fracture tests (bending, tensile) within the fracture mechanics of quasi-brittle building materials, particularly cementitious compo...
