The effect of porosity on fragmentation statistics of dynamically loaded ZrO2 ceramics by Marina Davydova, Sergei Uvarov, Oleg Naimark

“…Experimental data processing showed that the shape of stress-strain curves, the fragment size distribution and distribution of time intervals between the fractoluminiscense impulses depend on the sample porosity and load intensity. The X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) study of porous material structures allowed us to link the fragmentation statistics with pronounced porosity clustering (about 97% of the total pore volume) formed due to sintering…”
