... The fracture process in quasi-brittle materials such as concrete, rocks, and ceramics is characterized by localized cracking and an R -curve type of behavior due to the fracture process zone. Accurate estimation of materials toughness can be determined only if the exact crack-tip location...

... of the specimen to determine directly the crack closure stress (CCS) versus COD relationship along the fracture process zone (FPZ) that trailed the crack tip. For dynamic crack growth studies, the COD data together with three strain gage data taken along the crack path were used in an inverse analysis to extract...

... The nonlinear fracture process zones in an impacted unnotched concrete bend specimen, a prenotched ceramic bend specimen, and an unnotched ceramic/ceramic composite bend specimen were estimated through hybrid experimental numerical analysis.
