Abstract
Systematic measurements of the ultimate strength and static Young’s modulus of superconducting yttrium ceramics with varying density (3.6–5.9 g/cm3) are carried out in experiments on quasistatic compression in the temperature interval 4.2-293 K. The effect of porosity as the main structural factor of ceramic materials on mechanical properties and type of fracture is investigated. For ceramics with a low density, a peculiarity in the temperature dependence of strength correlating with anomalies in their acoustic parameters is detected in the temperature range 60–200 K. Physical mechanisms of low-temperature fracture are analyzed as well as their relation with the observed regularities of strength variation.
