The effect of zero point charge environment on rock fracture behavior

<p>This experimental investigation was conducted to assess the effect of zero point of charge (ZPC) environment on fracture behavior of rocks. The material parameters selected for this purpose were fracture toughness and specific work of fracture. These properties were determined for three roc...
