Transformation induced plasticity in ceramics

<p>Transformation induced plasticity was investigated in a model ceramic. The effect upon toughness of the martensitic transformation from the cubic (paraelectric) to the tetragonal ( ferroelectric) phase in BaTiO3 was determined. The K1C fracture toughness, as measured by the hardness indenta...
