Correlation between fracture toughness, work of fracture and fractal dimensions of Alumina-mullite-zirconia composites

The purpose of this work is to show the correlation between the fractal dimension, D, and mechanical properties such as work of fracture, gammawof, and fracture toughness, K Ic. Alumina-mullite-zirconia composites were characterized by the slit-island method, SIM, to obtain values of D and its fract...
