Mechanical loading of polycrystalline ZrO 2 ceramics causes reversible, out‐of‐plane distortions at free surfaces that are parallel to the direction of applied stress. These distortions have been measured using optical interference microscopy, and the separate contributions due to elastic anisotropy and reversible mantensitic tranformation have been identified.
