Mechanical properties, such as hardness, Young\u2019s modulus, four-point bending strength, and fracture toughness of both materials were measured. Linear stress-strain deformation behavior of both 3 mol% Y2O3-ZrO2 and 21 wt.% Al2O3-3 mol% Y2O3-ZrO2 was observed in flexure, both at room temperature and at 400 \u00b0C. A small deviation from linear elastic deformation was detected in 21 wt.% Al2O3-3 mol% Y2O3-ZrO2 ceramic composite when loaded above a stress of 1500 MPa. Therefore, it was concluded that only elastic deformation occurred at low stresses upon loading, which exclude the presence of domain switching in zirconia upon bending under the loading conditions of this study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma14143903","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,13]],"date-time":"2021-07-13T22:25:31Z","timestamp":1626215131000},"page":"3903","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Strength Analysis and Stress-Strain Deformation Behavior of 3 mol% Y-TZP and 21 wt.% Al2O3-3 mol% Y-TZP"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Liliya","family":"Vladislavova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics, Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, 8600 Duebendorf, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Smolorz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Metals Engineering and Industrial Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-054 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nina","family":"Orlovskaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mykola","family":"Lugovy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Problems of Materials Science, 03142 Kyiv, Ukraine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Reece","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London, London E1 4NS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"K\u04e7bel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Decema GmbH, 78224 Singen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5791-4012","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Kopia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Metals Engineering and Industrial Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-054 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Malgorzata","family":"Makowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), 5232 Villigen, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Graule","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics, Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, 8600 Duebendorf, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gurdial","family":"Blugan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics, Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, 8600 Duebendorf, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"703","DOI":"10.1038\/258703a0","article-title":"Ceramic Steel","volume":"258","author":"Garvie","year":"1975","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dental.2007.05.005","article-title":"Stabilized zirconia as a structural ceramic: An overview","volume":"24","author":"Kelly","year":"2008","journal-title":"Dent.
