Crack Growth in Zirconia Bearing Ceramics under Cyclic Loading
TL;DR: A substantial and growing body of evidence now indicates that true cyclic fatigue may be possible in a wide range of ceramics, for example, Guiu et al. as discussed by the authors showed that a significant portion of crack growth under cyclic loading in air or other reactive atmospheres is due to environmentally assisted slow crack growth.
Book ChapterDOI
Further Observations on Mixed Mode Plane Stress Ductile Fracture
Yiu-Wing Mai,Brian Cotterell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, mixed mode ductile fracture in thin sheets is shown to be possible for two low carbon steels and two aluminium alloys, and it is suggested that if necking is intensive and the strain hardening exponent (n) is low JC will vary with θ.
Book ChapterDOI
Environmental Effect on Fatigue Fracture in High Impact Polystyrene
TL;DR: In this article, the fatigue fracture behavior of a high impact polystyrene is investigated in air and in a series of alcohols, and the fatigue data are analyzed using a modified Williams model which gives lower crack tip craze stresses in the liquid environments than in air.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure and Growth Mechanism of Al2O3/Al Ceramic Matrix Composite Made by Directed Oxidation of Al Alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for oxide sustained growth based on the existence of oxygen active top surface layer and the capillary flow of molten metal around ceramic phase is presented for oxide growth.
