Stable fracture is observed for both composites and semi-stable fracture is observed for both aluminas. for the monophase alumina specimens and only semi-stable frac￾ture was obtained for a limited number of tests of specimens with relative notch depths of 0.5 (Fig. 3). The introduction of larger notches led to the failure of the specimens during machin￾ing. The fracture toughness parameters are summarized in Table 2. KIC values were calculated using Eq.

(3) from KIC values and Young’s modulus (E, Table 1) and using the Poisson ratio of dense and fine-grained alumina (ν = 0.22). In order to determine the increments in crack length (a = ai + 1 − ai) to build the R curves, the common criterion relating the onset of crack propagation in the load–displacement curves with the point where the non-linear behaviour starts (arrow in Fig. 4) 18,24,34 was used.

For R-curve determination, the arrow marks the point where the non-linear behaviour starts, selected as the onset of crack propagation. From this point, the increments in the crack length (a = ai+1 − ai) would produce the changes in the compliance (Ci, Ci + 1). For JIC calculation (Eq.

An example of the graphics used to calculate JIC is depicted in Fig. 4. For the monophase materials, the KIC values were lower than those reported for aluminas with similar grain sizes (KIC ∼= 3.5–4.5 MPa m1/2), determined from unstable tests35–37 and, in some cases, using specimens with notch radii larger than those utilized in this work,36 and similar to those deter￾mined by Sbaizero et al.38 (KIC ∼= 3 MPa m1/2) for hot-pressed aluminas using stable fracture tests. As discussed by Bar-On et al.,39 unstable crack extension results in apparent increases of fracture toughness values compared to those determined during quasi-static crack growth. Therefore, the semi-stable crack prop￾agation obtained in this work for the alumina specimens (Fig. 3) would give values closer to the actual fracture toughness.
