Abstract
In this paper, the toughening mechanisms of zirconia ceramics with dispersed silicon carbide nano-particles is studied and a model, which accounts for three toughening effects, i.e., nano-particle clustering, crack pinning, and trans granular fracture, is developed to predict the overall toughness of nano-composite ceramics. The theoretical prediction, based on the combination of the three effects of nano-particles, is in agreement with the experimental data.
