Abstract

The strengths of fine microstructural scale yttria stabilized rectangular bars and circular disks were measured by four-point flexure and by flat ball (piston) on three ball methods. Fracture mirror sizes were measured and correlated to the strengths. Although it was difficult to precisely judge the mirror boundary location in this material, consistent readings could be obtained once some simple guidelines were followed.
