Fracture stress-mirror size relations for polycrystalline ceramics

Several polycrystalline ceramics were fractured at room temp. and the fracture-mirror radii were measured. The slopes of curves of fracture stress vs. (mirror radius) sup -1/2 correlate directly with Young's modulus. Comparison of results from strength tests and delayed-fracture tests failed to...

Zusammenfassung:Several polycrystalline ceramics were fractured at room temp. and the fracture-mirror radii were measured. The slopes of curves of fracture stress vs. (mirror radius) sup -1/2 correlate directly with Young's modulus. Comparison of results from strength tests and delayed-fracture tests failed to reveal a loading-rate dependence of the above slopes. Implications of these observations are discussed and a more specific criterion for mirror-boundary formation is suggested.
