Objectives: This study investigates the simulation of the mechanical behavior of a bioceramic composite based on (Ce,Y)-TZP reinforced with equiaxed AlO and platelet-shaped hexaaluminate (H6A) grains using Finit Element Method (FEM).
Methods: A commercial (Ce, Y)-TZP/AlO ceramic powder was compacted into disc-shaped specimens that were sintered at 1500 °C for 2 h. The sintered samples were further subjected to hydrothermal degradation in an autoclave at 134 °C, 0.
