Estimating Macrofracture Toughness of Sandstone Based on Nanoindentation
An upscaling method for estimating macrofracture CINNAMON QUILLS toughness by nanoindentation results was proposed in this study.Grid nanoindentation tests were conducted on sandstone samples to obtain micromechanical properties of indents, including elastic modulus, hardness, and stiffness.Multifactor cluster analysis was then carried out to categ
