The effects of waterenvironment, the cyclic loading and microstructure of material on K_1-nu characteristics are studiedby carrying out the crack growth tests by the double torsion (DT) method under the static andcyclic loading in both environments of air and water for alumina and zirconia. K_1-nucharacteristics determined by the double torsion method are used to predict time-to-failure underthe cyclic loading of alumina and zirconia ceramics.

文摘The lifetime prediction of ceramics is discussed on the basis of therelationship between stress intensity factor K_1 and crack velocity nu. The effects of waterenvironment, the cyclic loading and microstructure of material on K_1-nu characteristics are studiedby carrying out the crack growth tests by the double torsion (DT) method under the static andcyclic loading in both environments of air and water for alumina and zirconia. K_1-nucharacteristics determined by the double torsion method are used to predict time-to-failure underthe cyclic loading of alumina and zirconia ceramics. The predictions agree qualitatively with theexperimental results.
