Abstract
Description
We investigated the uniaxial compressive behavior of damaged and intact alumina using quantitative X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis coupled with digital image correlation (DIC) for mechanical characterization. Internal three-dimensional crack characteristics such as crack surface area and orientation were quantified using XCT to assess the level of damage. From the quasi-static and dynamic stress–strain results, the primary effects of crack damage are to reduce the initial stiffness and rate of lateral expansion in damaged alumina. With increasing axial strain, crack closure was found to lead to a recovery of elastic properties, in some cases to intact levels, in the damaged specimens. Localized deformation mechanisms related to the crack structure, including lateral crack closure, axial crack opening and closing, and inclined crack sliding, were visualized in-situ and connected to XCT reconstructions. High-speed imaging also revealed a mixed fracture mode for damaged alumina that included axial splitting and failure along pre-existing cracks.
