Abstract
Potential research applications for large‐specimen geophysical experiments include measurements of scale dependence of physical parameters and examination of interactions with heterogeneities, especially flaws such as cracks. In addition, increased specimen size provides opportunities for improved recording resolution and greater control of experimental variables. Large‐scale experiments using a special purpose low stress ( 100 MPa).Keywords
