STUDY OF TRANSFORMATION PLASTICITY IN TETRAGONAL ZIRCONIA POLYCRYSTALS BY MOIRE INTERFEROMETRY

Transformation plasticity in ceria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia poly- crystals due to the stress-induced tetragonal-to-monoclinic martensitic transforma- tion under tension and bending is studied by moire interferometry. The whole fringe patterns including u fields and v fields are acquired. According to these patterns, the distributions of transformation plasticity in transformation zones are obtained, and the phenomenon of plastic flow localization for transformation is revealed. The above work provides a significant experimental foundation for establishing transformation constitutive relations

Ce—TZP结构陶瓷相变塑性区实验研究

用云纹干涉法对ＺｒＯ＿２相变多晶体三点弯曲梁切口周围应力诱导的相变塑性区进行了实验研究，得到了三点弯曲梁切口周围相变塑性区的形状及相变塑性分布。实验结果表明：Ｃｅ－ＴＺＰ结构陶瓷切口周围存在一个较长的扩展相变塑性区，相变塑性区内拉伸应力方向的塑性应变远大于垂直于拉伸应力方向的塑性应变。所得实验结果为进一步深入研究相变本构关系和相变增韧机理提供了重要的实验依据。
