Study of the Fracture Behavior of Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal with a Modified Phase Field Model

The superior fracture toughness of zirconia is closely correlated with stress-induced martensitic phase transformation around a crack tip. In this study, a modified phase field (PF) model coupling phase transformation and fracture is proposed to study the fracture behavior and toughening effect of t...
