Elevated temperature effects on R-curve behavior in alumina ceramics

I. Crack wake bridges were studied in glassy alumina s-DCB specimens at elevated temperatures. Direct observation of fracture surfaces in unmodified s-DCB specimens revealed the sizes and shapes of the high temperature bridges in the crack wake relative to the position of the crack front. Similar fr...
