Miyazaki et al. / Journal of the European Ceramic Society 26 (2006) 3539–3546 3543 By contrast, the fracture toughness of the fibrous compos￾ites was increased even by introducing a small amount of fine zirconia filaments into alumina matrix (Fig. 5), and was further increased with fZ and reached a maximum (6.2 MPa m1/2) where fZ was 47 vol%.

Effect of crack deflection mechanism on the fracture toughness Fig. 7 shows crack propagation of an indenter-induced crack on both the 47/53 vol% zirconia/alumina fibrous composite and the 50/50 vol% zirconia/alumina powder-mixture composite. Crack deflection at the zirconia/alumina interface was observed in the fibrous composite, whereas crack deflection was not observed by an optical microscope in the powder-mixture com￾posite. The same result was also obtained at the 10/90 vol% zirconia/alumina composite.10 It is clear that the residual stress produced by mismatch of thermal expansion between alumina and zirconia affected the crack propagation more effectively in the case of fibrous microstructure further increasing the fracture toughness. Although the composites have the fibrous microstruc￾ture, pullout of the fine fibrous second phase was not observed (Fig. 8). The lack of pullout of the fibrous phase is due to a tough bonding at the interface between the two phases. The decrease in toughness of the fibrous composites with fZ over 47 vol% (Fig. 5), despite the increased volume fraction of transformed zirconia (Fig. 6), implies that the contribution from the “crack-deflection” mechanism caused by residual stress decreased. The contribution of the crack-deflection mechanism to the increment in fracture toughness of the fibrous composite can be estimated by the product of the frequency of interaction between the crack and the second phase, which causes crack Fig. 8.

The frequency of interaction between the crack and the second phase is represented by the volume fraction of the second phase providing the width of the second phase filaments is constant. Adachi et al. reported that the degree of the crack deflection in the alumina/zirconia bi￾phase lamer composite increased with increasing the difference of residual stress between the two phases.7 It is reasonable to assume that the effect of a crack deflection on the toughness is almost proportional to the variation in the residual stress across the interface. Then the dependence of the increment in toughness due to the crack-deflecting mechanism on fZ can be analyzed by the product of the volume fraction of the secondary phase and the difference of the residual stress between the fiber and the matrix. The residual thermal stress in the fiber-reinforced composites was analyzed by Budiansky et al., by using the com￾posite cylinder model.22 The average of residual stress of matrix is given by the following equation. σm Em = λ2 λ1  Ef E  cf 1 − νm Ω (2) where σ is axial stress, E the Young’s modulus, c the volume fraction, ν Poisson’s ratio and subscripts m and f refer to matrix and fiber, respectively. λ1 and λ2 are functions of cm, Em/Ef, νm and νf shown explicitly in appendix.  is the thermal strain Fig. 7.
