Abstract
This paper reviews the use of the cracked Chevron-notched Brazilian disc (CCNBD) for
fracture toughness testing. Theoretical and experimental backgrounds of the method are described. Some
issues regarding the current development (i.e., recalibration) of the specimen geometry are presented and
discussed. A number of geometries related to the CCNBD proposed recently for fracture toughness testing
of rock are then introduced and commented on.
Keywords
