摘要
The fatigue behavior of alumina and bioglass‐coated alumina was determined in air and biological test environments by the dynamic fatigue test technique in which strength is measured as a function of stressing rate. The good correlation found between the test data and fracture mechanics theory indicates that fatigue failure is controlled by the slow crack growth of preexisting flaws and that fracture mechanics theory can be used in making failure predictions for alumina and bioglass‐coated alumina in biological environments. Thus, it is believed that lifetime predictions can be made for ceramic implants on the basis of short‐term test data utilizing fracture mechanics principles. Copyright © 1979 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
