The Northfield Tragedy, or the Robber's Raid is a book by James Hobbs Hanson. It describes the extraordinary and dangerous effort to rob a bank at Northfield, Minnesota, along with the murder of a cashier.

The round double beam loaded in tension, RDB(T), or wedging, RDB(W), is part of standard test methods for measuring the fracture toughness of aluminum (ASTM E 1307), cemented carbides (ASTM B 644), and rock.When the combination RDB(T) or ...

This book has been completely retyped, revised, and reformatted. The text is readable and clear because these books are not created from scanned copies.

This paper presents a review of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) standards for determining the plane-strain fracture toughness of cemented carbides and rocks, ...

By performing simulations against both the state of of the art and alternative structures, this work proves that there is a significant performance improvement in user query response time by incorporating the auxiliary structure.

The round double beam loaded in eccentric compression has been shown to produce usable data when determining the fracture properties of materials with a relatively large characteristic length.
