By using the non-destructive technique of ultrasonic transmission, this paper undertakes a
study of the compositional and structural discontinuities in marble from Macael (Almería …

The Brazilian disk test, namely the diametric compression of a circular disk by radial loads
that are uniformly distributed along two symmetric arcs of its periphery, is studied using the …

A multidisciplinary methodology is presented to assess the mechanical behaviour of a
marble statue with complex fracture plans and localized cracks. First, a 3D model is …

An experimental protocol is described including a series of uniaxial compression tests of
three brittle materials (marble, mortar and glass). The Acoustic Emission (AE) technique and …

Weak electric signals termed as “Pressure Stimulated Currents, PSC” are generated and
detected while cement based materials are found under mechanical load, related to the …

Acoustic emission tests were conducted on prismatic Dionysos' marble specimens subjected
to compressive mechanical loading cycles. Two groups of acoustic emission time series …

The present paper occupies with the acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of fracture of marble.
The specimens belong to two different material types and were tested in three-point bending …

In the present study an attempt is made to assess a recently presented analytical approach
to the problem of the contact stresses developed along the Flattened Brazilian Disc (FBD) …

The bowing phenomenon is frequently a problem for newly constructed buildings, where
marble slabs used in façades are usually very thin and have a high slenderness ratio. This …

The damage development due to externally applied mechanical stress is a hot topic of
interest involving several applications of everyday life, like civil engineering, monument …
