As in previous conferences the state of the art of the failure behaviour of monolithic engineering ceramics and of reinforced ceramics was discussed. The 90 papers by over 200 authors and co-authors address the recent devel opments in the understanding and the modelling of the fracture processes in brittle materi als. The main topics are R-curve behaviour, toughness determination, surface effects, com posite materials, high temperature behaviour, ceramic-metal joints, fatigue.

Jacobs§ and Mehemosh Engineer Materials Science & Engineering University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2136 INTRODUCTION Stable crack growth under cyclic loading has been observed in many structural ceramics which exhibit a rising toughness (R-curve) behavior.I·7 Although the growth is sometimes enhanced by the environmental factors, it can also proceed in vacuum where the environmental assistance is absent. 6 This phenomenon has been extensively documented in recent years so that it is now possible to give a fairly general description of its mechanisms and kinetics. The purpose of this article is to incorporate the main body of the phenomenology into a micromechanical framework, within which the current understanding of the R-curve behavior and fatigue is fully reconciled. For ceramics which have no capacity for crack tip blunting, stable crack growth under a monotonically increasing load must imply the existence of an R-curve.8 Applying the same instability consideration in fracture mechanics to cyclic loading conditions of identical peak stress intensity factor, Kmax, and demanding incremental crack advance in every cycle when the stress intensity factor reaches Kmax, we can conclude that stable fatigue crack growth likewise implies the existence of an underlying R-curve. On the other hand, stable crack growth under the latter conditions also implies a degradation of fracture resistance during unloading and reloading, since cyclic loading in ceramics cannot cause blunting and resharpening of the crack as it does in metals. Thus, a mechanistic understanding of the R curve behavior and shielding degradation in ceramics holds the key to the problem. The most general cause for the R-curve behavior in ceramics is crack wake bridging due to frictional pull out of grains.9 The magnitude of crack tip shielding from this contribution depends on the population of participating grains, the friction, the sliding distance, and geometrical factors such as the aspect ratio of the grain. 10 Among the above factors, friction is obviously amenable to degradation by wear during cyclic loading. Direct physical evidence of wear under a cyclic load is vividly displayed in Fig. I, II which shows accumulation of wear debris at the sliding interfaces under cyclic but not monotonic loading conditions. This mechanism is adopted in the present analysis which will further explore the interplay between cyclic loading, interfacial friction, and crack tip shielding. t This research was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Grant No. AFOSR-F49620- 95-\-0\\9. • Now at Westinghouse Electric Corp., Pittsburgh, PA. § Now at Saint Gobain Norton, Northboro, MA.
