1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of subcritical crack growth parameters
of advanced monolithic technical ceramics in the temperature range 15 °C to 30 °C by measuring the
dependence of mean fracture strength on the rate of loading. The method is based on strength test
procedures described in EN 843-1. This European Standard is not applicable to test pieces with artificially
introduced flaws or cracks.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
nominal flexural strength
maximum nominal stress at the instant of failure supported by the material when loaded in linear elastic
bending
3.2
three-point flexure
means of bending a beam test piece whereby the testpiece is supported on bearings near its ends and a
central load is applied
3.3
four-point flexure
means of bending a beam test piece whereby the test piece is supported on bearings near its ends and is
equally loaded at two positions symmetrically disposed about the centre of the supported span
3.4
subcritical crack growth
extension of existing cracks or flaws under a stress which does not produce instant failure
3.5
subcritical crack growth parameters
parameters describing the relationship between crack velocity and stress intensity factor
4 Significance and use
Subcritical crack growth can occur in brittle solids at stress levels below that required to cause
instantaneous failure. This effect may be caused by the testing environment, or by the intrinsic crack
propagation behaviour of the material. The phenomenon leads to a decay of remaining strength in a
manner determined by the loading history of the component or test piece.
NOTE 1 A review of subcritical crack growth may be found in [1].
The determination of subcritical crack growth parameters in accordance with this document allows the
characterisation of the susceptibility of the material to subcritical crack growth, and thus its ability to
support continued mechanical loading. Using these parameters it is possible to compare materials for
susceptibility to loss of strength under load in particular environments, and to estimate the lifetime of a
component used under similar loading and environmental conditions.
NOTE 2 The use of these parameters in design and lifetime estimation is not within the scope of this
document.
The relationship between the stress intensity factor at the tip of a crack or flaw and the velocity of the
subcritically growing crack may be given by:
n
K
I
v= A (1)
K
Ic
where
v is the velocity of the growing crack in metres per second;
A is a constant in metres per second;
K is the critical stress intensity factor developed at the crack tip by the applied stress in
I
1/2
Megapascals metres ;
K = critical stress intensity factor at the crack tip required to cause instantaneous crack propagatio.
Ic
NOTE 3 There are other algebraic representations of this relationship which are less convenient
mathematically, but may be physically more realistic in practice. See, e.g. [2] and [3]. [2] considers that
practical data cannot reliably distinguish between various relationships. The mathematical analysis in this
document therefore does not cover such alternative relationships.
In Equation (1), the value of n at room temperature is normally high, typically in the range fifteen to
several hundred. At the lower end of this range, materials are very susceptible to subcritical crack growth,
while at the upper end the phenomenon becomes insignificant. It should be recognised that Equation (1)
implies a single simple relationship, but in practice there may be non-linearities. There are thought to be
two principal causes of non-linearity:
a) At low stress intensity factors there may be no subcritical crack growth. This is termed the
subcritical crack growth threshold, or "fatigue limit".
b) At intermediate stress intensity factors, the crack growth rate may be limited by the rate at which
the environment can penetrate along the crack to control fracture at the tip. This results in a
plateau effect, which is maintained to K levels at which crack growth can occur in the absence of
I
an environmental effect.
It should be noted that n and A are often functions of the environmental conditions employed. In
particular, many ceramics show marked subcritical crack growth in humid air or in water, and much less
marked effects in dry or inert conditions. The test environment shall be defined and controlled for
reproducible results.
In this document, the parameter n and a parameter B , which is related to A , are determined from the
0 0
effect of stressing rate on flexural strength.
NOTE 4 The term "dynamic fatigue" is frequently used to describe such tests, but tends to be
misunderstood. Its use is discouraged.
Annex A shows how the mathematical formulation of the relationship between the subcritical crack
growth parameters based on Equation (1) and the effect of stressing rate on strength is derived, yielding
the basic formula:
logσ = logB + logσ& (2)
f 0
n+1
where
σ is the nominal fracture strength of a test-piece in MPa;
f
B is the constant;
&
σ is the stressing rate employed in MPa per second.
