摘要
The analytical function of crack extension to a fractional power is used to represent the fracture resistance of a vitreous-bonded 96% alumina ceramic. A varying flaw size, controlled by Vickers indentation loading between 3 and 300 N, was placed on the prospective tensile surfaces of four-point bend specimens, previously polished and annealed. The length of surface cracks were measured by optical microscopy. Straight lines were fitted to the logarithmic functions of observed bending strength versus indentation load in two series of experiments: (I) including the residual stress due to indentation and (II) having the residual stress annealed out at an elevated temperature. Considering the criteria for crack extension and specimen failure, the fracture mechanics equations were solved for the conditions of the two series of experiments. Approximately the same values of fracture toughness, rising as a function of indentation flaw size, were obtained from both series of experiments.
