Stability of crack propagation during bending tests on brittle materials Estabilidade de propagação de trinca durante testes de flexão em materiais frágeis

Applications of ceramic materials usually involve thermal stresses that can reduce their lifetime considerably. One of the most relevant mechanical properties for evaluating thermal shock damage resistance is the energy of fracture. In order to obtain this property, a stable crack growth regimen mus...
