Fracture toughness of macro-defect-free cement using small crack techniques
Source abstract
Abstract
The fracture toughness of a macro-defect-free (MDF) cement was calculated from two measurement techniques: (1) indentation-strength method and (2) fracture surface analysis (FSA). It was found that the indentation-strength method, which showed good agreement with FSA, was applicable for estimating the fracture toughness of MDF cement. The ultimate toughness was found to be 1.25 MPa m1/2 for this MDF cement, which contained 3 wt. % polymer. An R-curve (crack-growth-resistance) bchavior was also observed. Scanning electron micrographs showed extensive microcracking on the fracture surface. Microstructural effects are discussed.
