toughness testing procedure compared to similar previous methods, because a vast range
of specimens with irregular cracks can be accommodated for testing. Micron-sized alumina
powders containing 0.05 wt% magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were mixed and also
together with 2.5 vol%, 5 vol%, 7.5 vol%, 10 vol%, and 15 vol% of silicon carbide (SiC) …
