Anisotropy of fracture toughness in nanostructured ceramics controlled by grain boundary design
The fracture toughness of nanostructured materials depends on anisotropic physical properties of individual microstructural features, their texture and/or topology. In this work, intentionally sculptured grain boundaries of low cohesive energy were used to form “weak” and “tough” crack propagation d...
