Abstract

Fracture toughness (K_IC) tests have been carried out on single edge precracked beam specimens with dimensions in accordance with ISO15732 requirements for two types of zirconia and one type of alumina, i.e. ZrO₂ -1, ZrO₂ -2 and Al₂O₃. Experimental determinations of K_IC for the two zirconia and one alumina materials are 12.18 MPa•m^1/2, 16.35 MPa•m^1/2 and 4.99 MPa•m^1/2, respectively. The median rank method is used to calculate the probability of fracture, F(K_IC) of the three cermaic materials for representing the experimental results. The SEM analysis on fracture surfaces of ZrO2-1 materials is carried out, which indicates the fracture in ZrO₂ -1 material occurred at the interior of the grain associated with interior stress distribution with principal components of ZrO₂ and SiO₂. Th extended finite element method (XFEM), based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics in conjuciton with a bilinear traction-separation damage law, is used to simulate the progressive crack growth process in the SEPB specimens. The XFEM predicted K_IC results are compared with the corresponding experimental data. The XFEM approach overpredicts the K_IC values, from 10.4% to 25.6%, for the three ceramic materials. The possible reasons, in the aspect of loading conditions and contact assumptions, for the difference between the predicted and tested results are also discussed.
