Abstract
The development of Vickers indent-induced cracks with increasing inden t load has been studied in two Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 ceramics. Such cra cks form as radial or Palmqvist cracks at low loads, assume ''kidney'' shapes at intermediate loads, and finally form median (half-penny) cr acks at high loads. The plastic zone directly beneath the indent is un cracked; a significant portion of the plasticity induced by indentatio n occurs by martensitic transformation.
