摘要
Crack-opening displacements (COD) method was used to measure crack-tip toughness in silicon nitride Si3N4 ceramics containing (Y2O3,MgO) and (Y2O3, Al2O3). The R-curves for these materials were measured in a very stiff test device and four-point bending tests were carried out on notched bars of dimensions. Results for the first microns of crack propagation show that the R-curves raise very steeply reaching saturation already after a few μm crack extension. The semi-elliptical crack shape of Vickers cracks are found to develop in the unloading phase, characterized by the condition of crack-tip toughness at the crack tip after load removal. The crack-tip toughness for (Y2O3,MgO) is 2.33MPa√m and 2.033MPa√m for (Y2O3, Al2O3).
