TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of temperature and moisture content on the interlaminar delamination toughness in HTA/6376C composite and found that the critical strain energy release rate in pure mode I is unaffected by changes in moisture content and was found to increase slightly at elevated temperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the strength and fracture toughness of cerium oxide containing tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Ce-TZP) were studied by low temperature thermal cycling and aging tests in air and in hot aqueous solution.
Abstract: The strength and fracture toughness of cerium oxide containing tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Ce-TZP) were studied. The thermal stability of Ce-TZP was also studied by low temperature thermal cycling and aging tests in air and in hot aqueous solution. Ce-TZP (12 mol% cerium oxide) showed very high fracture toughness and inelastic fracture behavior and was resistant to phase transformation during low temperature aging.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of hydrogen on the deformation and fracture processes in high-purity aluminum has been investigated by an in-situ environmental-cell TEM technique, and the response of dislocations and cracks to high-fugacity hydrogen atmospheres was monitored by video recording of dynamic events.
