Acoustic Emission Analysis of Fracture and Size Effect in Cementitious Mortars

The size effect is a phenomenon where the strength and the ductility of a material depend on the size of the structure. Investigating size effects and related crack formation in brittle materials requires advanced monitoring methods. The aim of this research is to experimentally investigate the impa...
