      Muñoz-Ibáñez, Andrea; Herbón-Penabad, Miguel; Delgado Martín, Jordi; Alejano, Leandro R.; Alvarellos-Iglesias, José; Canal, Jacobo (Springer, 2023)
      [Abstract:] We have designed and built a versatile testing device to perform hydraulic fracturing experiments under true triaxial conditions. The device, based on a stiff biaxial frame that can be installed in a servocontrolled ...
    • Photoelastic Stress Analysis of Mode I Fracture Toughness Tests Using PMMA Samples 

      Muñoz-Ibáñez, Andrea; Herbón-Penabad, Miguel; Delgado Martín, Jordi (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
      [Abstract] Rocks are usually inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials. The presence of foliation planes, grain boundaries or even microcracks may alter the stress distribution. In order to identify whether unusual behaviours ...

      [Abstract] Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally1. However, a lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution challenging2,3. Here we present ...
    • Size Effect and Other Effects on Mode I Fracture Toughness Using Two Testing Methods 

      Muñoz-Ibáñez, Andrea; Delgado Martín, Jordi; Juncosa, Ricardo (Elsevier, 2021)
      [Abstract] Mode I fracture toughness (KIC) is an intrinsic material property that quantifies its resistance to tensile fracture propagation. The International Society for Rock Mechanics has endorsed four methods to determine ...
