Intergranular crack nucleation in polycrystalline alumina

Crack nuclei in pure and Cr-doped aluminas with average grain size between 1.5 μm and 3.6 μm have been studied using digital image correlation of optical images, to observe the interaction between microstructure, residual stress and damage development. Individual intergranular crack nuclei within ar...
