Fatigue crack growth tests of several ceramic materials were carried out to investigate the general characteristics of cyclic and static fatigue crack growth in ceramics. The cyclic effect was found in Si3N4. Al2O3 and TiB2, where the main fracture mechanism was the intergranular fracture. On the other hand no cyclic effect was observed in SiC or ZrO2, where the main fracture mechanism was the transgranular fracture. The fatigue crack growth curves were found to be reduced to a unique curve by using Δ Keff/E, regardless of the kind of ceramics.
