Summary of an Article
The test needs at least three samples; the first load sample burst at a consistent rate with the Test Method E8 to create fast fracture strength (FFS), geometrically (PFFS=Pc) (Kaminsky 783-786). The test has the primary reference data, specific load profile vary on the samples hardness within a scale of≥33HRC to 45HRC; >45HRC to 54HRC; and>54HRC. #/%Pmax/hrs is the symbol for incremental step load profile ("WITHDRAWN: Engineering Fracture Mechanics Special Issue—Mechanics Of Fracture And Failure In Geomaterials"). # represents some steps, and %Pmax gives the highest load anticipated by a single step.
The loading profile for≥33HRC to 45HRC is (10/5/2,4) or 10 steps at 5% of PFFS.
