Indentation-induced crack interaction in alumina ceramics
Polycrystalline aluminas of tailored composition and grain size, prepared using liquid-phase sintering aids based on the Al2O3-CaO-SiO2 and Al2O3-MgO-SiO2 systems, have been indented at loads close to their critical fracture limit P*, using closely spaced arrays of low-load Vickers indentations.
