Crack deflection and interfacial fracture energies in alumina/SiC and alumina/TiN nanocomposites
Crack/particle interactions in Al2O3/SiC and Al2O3/TiN nanocomposites have been observed by TEM on samples containing cracks produced by Vickers indentations. No significant crack deflection by intragranular SiC particles or microcracking around nanoparticles was found. Intergranular cracks were obs...
