Overview
In ceramic composites, generation of thermal and transformation-induced residual stresses during the fabrication process or posttreatments may have a profound effect on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the materials and is responsible for a large variety of phenomena of paramount importance in biomaterials engineering. There is an increasing demand for both quantitative assessment and direct visualization of residual stress fields on the micro/nanoscopic scale, with the capability to map stress distributions. In this entry, Raman piezo-spectroscopy (PS) is developed for the evaluation of residual stress fields stored in an as-received alumina/zirconia hip prosthesis. This research manages to make a theoretical quantitative assessment available and to experimentally improve the PS resolution by using confocal techniques. We have shown here a quantitative microscopic assessment of the distribution of residual stresses on the composite surface and the...
