Microcantilever investigation of fracture toughness and subcritical crack growth on the scale of the microstructure in Al2O3
Knowledge of the fracture characteristics of individual microstructural features such as grains and grain boundaries is essential for a full understanding of the macroscopic behaviour of ceramics. We have investigated the fracture of single crystal, bicrystal and polycrystalline Al<inf>2</i...
