Hello, once again.
I just wanted to inform you that I've finally (kind of) found the solution for my problem and I want to share it with you all, in case someone else needs this information.
The answer was in the work Fracture Toughness of Ceramics by the Vickers Indentation Crack Length...
I've just read paper written by Gong et al. (Indentation toughness of ceramics: a modified approach, 2002).
They say that the Anstis model is applicable only when using the Vickers indenter (or: it's not suitable for Knoop hardness testing).
What do you know about this?
And about my previous...
@cloa: Thank you, but i still have questions...
I had used the Anstis model, but a colleague from another country told me this model is applicable ONLY for median / radial cracks, while I have Palmqvist...
Is he right?
Hello, everyone!
I am quite new in this area (technical ceramics) and there are few things bothering me...
First, and the most important one, is the ceramics fracture toughness. I have read so many scientific papers about this subject and I am nothing but confused :-(
So, to shorten this, I...
