摘要
Subcritical crack growth of macroscopic cracks in two Al2O3 ceramics is investigated with single-edge-notched bending specimens under constant load. The resulting v-K(I)-curves are in complete contrast to the behavior of natural cracks. In spite of the monotonic increase of the externally applied stress intensity factor due to crack extension, the crack growth rates first decrease. This behavior is caused by crack shielding due to crack border interaction and can be described by a rising crack growth resistance. Two methods are applied to determine the R-curve under subcritical crack growth conditions.
