Experimental investigation on mode-I fracture properties of magnesium-based wood-like material using DIC technique by Li, C, Chen, H, Zhang, H, Marrow, TJ

“…To understand the fracture behaviors of a new environmentally friendly building material, namely magnesium-based wood-like material (MWM), three-point bending tests were carried out on single-edge notched beams to study its fracture properties. Full-field displacements and crack behaviours of the beams were measured using DIC technique and mode-I fracture properties of the MWM were studied. …”
