A relationship between tensile strength and mode I fracture toughness of rocks using the critical distance

Abstract Correlations between material parameters are useful because they provide a first estimation of unknown parameters. Here, the correlation between the tensile strength and the mode I fracture toughness of rocks is studied. Some researchers have proposed empirical correlations based on a certa...
