The Influence of Platen Stiffness on a Specimen’s Failure Initiation Point and the Failure Pattern of Brittle Materials in the Standardized Uniaxial Compression Test

Uniaxial compressive strength is a variable necessary for adequately characterizing a material’s mechanical properties. However, a specimen’s geometric deviations and elastic properties may lead to undesirable stress states, which cause strong discrepancies between the results of the uniaxial compre...
