Mechanical evaluation of yttria
1990
A method is described to make multiple measurements of the strength of a single
hemispherical ceramic dome with a ring-on-ring flexure test of disklike sections removed
from the dome by a core drill. Preliminary results show that dome cores exhibit lower
strength than flat disks, because the domes have larger critical surface flaws than those
present on disks. Careful attention to polishing of domes is required to realize maximum
strength from the domes. The fracture toughness of optical quality yttria disks and
hemispherical domes was found to be approximately 0.7 MPa'I m.
