A nanomechanical investigation of the crack tip process zone of marble
… of a brittle geomaterial. Samples of Carrara marble with pre-existing cracks ("flaws") were loaded in a uniaxial testing machine until the process zone appeared at the tips of the pre-existing cracks in form of "white patching". Three techniques were then used to obtain nanomechanical …
