Abstract:
Classic methods to determine fracture properties of ceramics (like Single-Edge Notched Beam or Compact Tension) are accurate at the macroscale but inappropriate to estimate local fracture properties which are decisive at the microscale. The inaccuracy of the indentation crack length method to characterize fracture resistance of ceramics at small scale highlights the need for an accurate method to estimate small scale fracture properties.
