Crack-fabrication techniques and their effects on the fracture toughness and CTOD for fresh-water columnar ice
Abstract The effects of notch acuity (crack-tip sharpness) on the fracture toughness of S2 ice were investigated using six groups of single-edge-notched-bend (SENB) specimens with different crack (or notch) root radii fabricated by six different methods. The mean value and standard deviations of the...
