Fracture Toughness Determination on an SCB Specimen by Meshless Methods

This work investigates fracture characteristics of a marble semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen with a pre-defined crack under a compressive loading condition. It aims at evaluating how the fracture toughness can be affected by the crack and span length variation. Numerically, the model is solved usin...
