Summary Enhanced fracture energy losses at spalling and the temperature dependence of the spalling strength of alumina ceramic bars are analysed on the basis of the experimental tests conducted both in room temperature and within the temperature range up to 1500C at strain rates of some 500s1. The experimental method and the measurements are first shortly outlined. The mechanical response of ceramic...
