Crack bridging stresses in alumina during crack extension

    Publications: Contribution to journalArticlePeer Reviewed

    Abstract

    Crack bridging stresses in alumina during crack extension were numerically analyzed. Crack length was visualized using a wetting fluid with the dyestuff rhodamine. Crack was extended by compression bridge anvil loading and fracture toughness was evaluated using theoretical and experimentally measured compliance functions. The bridging stress first decreased with increasing crack length and then increased indicating dependence of the stress on the normalized crack length.
