Photoelastic Stress Analysis of Mode I Fracture Toughness Tests Using PMMA Samples
(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 ...
Hydrofracturing tests on granite samples using a true triaxial device equipped with acoustic emission sensors
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
[Abstract:] We present a series of tests performed on granite samples using a true triaxial device designed and built at the Rock Mechanics Laboratory (University of A Coruña). The experiments were performed using cubic ...
Methodological Challenges and Strategies to Incorporate Climate Change into Flood Risk Analysis of Spanish Coastal Cities
(IAHR, 2019)
[Abstract:] Flooding of coastal cities may arise from a combination of coastal and inland flooding, which requires understanding complex correlations and dependencies between multiple agents (precipitation, storm surge, ...
Coordinated combination of methodologies as the key to success in the teaching of very heterogeneous groups
(Universidade da Coruña. Servizo de publicacións, 2020)
[Abstract:] The International Master in Water Engineering is a Joint Degree offered by the University of A Coruña and the Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal, which counts with the collaboration of other prestigious international ...
Experimental Device for the Determination of Fracture Toughness at High Pressure
(IOP Publishing, 2023)
[Abstract:] Mode I fracture toughness (KIC) is a relevant property in many applications involving rock mechanics. However, the conventional methods for its determination only consider ambient pressure conditions. Although ...
Experimental analysis of the pseudo-compact tension (pCT) testing configuration using two alternative sample geometries
(IOP Publishing, 2021)
[Abstract:] The pseudo-compact tension (pCT) method recently proposed by Muñoz-Ibáñez et al. (2020) is a satisfactory approach to measure mode I fracture toughness (KIC) in rocks and other materials using disc-shaped samples ...
