“…The ratio between the characteristic length and the maximum particle size is much larger than in the case of concrete, something that concurs with the remarks stated by Yu, Ruiz and Pandolfi (11). Indeed, unlike other brittle or quasi-brittle materials like concrete, ceramics develop fracture process zones comparable in size to the characteristic length, which is mainly due to the bridging and interlocking of the grains in the wake of the crack (12,16).…”

“…La relación entre la longitud característica y el tamaño máximo de partícula es mucho mayor que en el hormigón, lo cual concuerda con las observaciones de Yu, Ruiz y Pandolfi (11). En efecto, a diferencia de otros materiales frágiles como el hormigón, la cerámica desarrolla zonas de fractura comparables en tamaño a su longitud característica, lo cual se debe principalmente a las interconexiones existentes entre los granos en el inicio de la fractura (12,16).…”

“…It is possible to apply the models developed for composite materials, if the properties of the particles are regarded as adjustable parameters, which are determined by fitting the theory to experimental measurements. This approach was used successfully by Bower and Ortiz (1991) to predict the R-curve behavior observed in Alumina by Vekinis et al (1990). However, it would be more satisfactory to account for the mechanisms responsible for forming the pinning particles.…”

“…Swanson et al (1987), and Vekinis et al (1990) have observed bridging particles in the wake of cracks propagating through Alumina. Vekinis and co-workers also measured a substantial increase toughness as the bridging zone developed.…”

“…In agreement to McColm [50] statement, Bennison and Lawn [51] have shown that in some pure alumina ceramic samples those with smaller grain size have higher indentationstrength. On the other hand, in Vekinis et al [52], also working with alumina, were presented results where the toughness represented by the crack resistance energy, G Ic , increases with the increasing grain size. Finally, according to results from Rice [7] and from Monroe and Smith [53] presented by Wachtman [5] depending on the crystal symmetry the strength may not vary with the grain size.…”
