✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Fatigue behavior under cyclic torsion loading shows a complicated dependency between the number of cycles to failure N~f~ and the height of the applied load σ~appl~. A recently published result is chosen for which three clearly different regions are observed in which the normally straight log(N~f~)‐log(σ) plot shows different slopes. Whereas the high‐stress region near the torsion strength can be interpreted as normal mode‐I failure of randomly oriented surface cracks, the steep part may be understood as the consequence of friction degradation at grinding cracks which are under pure mode‐II and mode‐III loading. At lowest loads, quasi‐static subcritical crack growth support has to be expected with its commonly higher load exponents.

## Abstract Usual strength and fatigue experiments for ceramic materials determine the failure behaviour at simple stress states with small stress gradients. Recently, ceramics have been also used in applications like gears and pumps because of their outstanding tribological properties compared to
