The sample was extracted with a water-cooled diamond drill from a bigger sample with a diameter of 30 mm and a length of 80 mm which was before subjected to following thermal treatment to initiate cracks: <br> Starting at room temperature (20°C), the sample was heated up with a rate of 3 K/min to 600°C. After a holding time of 2 hours at 600°C, the sample was subsequently slowly cooled down in the closed oven back to room temperature (20°C).University of Stuttgart, Institute of Applied Mechanics (CE)DFGSTE 969/13-1DFGEXC 2075 - 390740016DFGSFB 1313 ‐ 327154368
