Evaluation of Anisotropy of Fracture Toughness in Brittle Rock, Migmatized Gneiss
Abstract Most rocks in nature are affected by a certain degree of anisotropy. They contain cracks mostly with certain distributions. Therefore their mechanical behaviour is dependent on the direction of the strength distribution, which is different...
