• Anisotropic deformability and strength of slate from NW-Spain 

      Alejano, Leandro R.; González Fernández, Manuel Alejandro; Estévez-Ventosa, Xian; Song, Fei; Delgado Martín, Jordi; Muñoz-Ibáñez, Andrea; González-Molano, Nubia; Alvarellos-Iglesias, José (Elsevier, 2021)
      [Abstract:] Slates are metamorphic rocks characterized by the pervasive occurrence of cleavage or foliation producing a highly anisotropic mechanical behavior characterized by fissility. Deformability and strength of these ...
    • Size effects on the tensile strength and fracture toughness of granitic rock in different tests 

      Pérez-Rey, Ignacio; Muñoz-Ibáñez, Andrea; González-Fernández, Manuel A.; Muñiz-Menéndez, Mauro; Herbón-Penabad, Miguel; Estévez-Ventosa, Xian; Delgado Martín, Jordi; Alejano, Leandro R. (Elsevier, 2023)
      [Abstract:] This study investigates the tensile failure mechanisms in granitic rock samples at different scales by means of different types of tests. To do that, we have selected a granitic rock type and obtained samples ...
