Bar chart showing critical loads for flexural fracture of ceramic beams subject to three-point bending. The beams were 2h2 = 1.2 mm thick and b = 4 mm wide. The loading rate was 1 mm min−1 and the span between bearers was L = 20 mm. Ceramic beams tested were G/Z/G (fabricated from glass infiltration of 1400°C presintered Y-TZP) and the homogeneous Y-TZP controls.
