Broad-spectrum fracture toughness of an anisotropic sandstone under mixed-mode loading

Fracture toughness of anisotropic rocks can vary with many factors such as geological anisotropy, geometrical properties of specimens used in the laboratory (e.g., pre-existing crack properties), and loading conditions. This fact has been widely acknowledged. Yet the variation in fracture toughness...
