Residual stresses in Al2O3-ZrO2 laminar system

The aim of the paper is to present an analytical model of thermal stresses in a laminar system, and consequently to verify the model validity by comparing calculated thermal stresses with measured ones by indentation method. Analytical models of thermal stresses acting in anisotropic and isotropic laminar plane systems are presented, and consequently applied to the thermal-stress-strengthened Al2O3-ZrO2 laminar ceramics.
