The effect of compressive stress on fatigue behavior of alumina was investigated under uniaxial cyclic loading. Experimental data for alumina tension specimens under uniaxial tension–unloading and tension–compression cyclic loadings were compared. This comparison suggests that compressive stress is effective in advancing the crack growth under tension–compression cycling.
