A procedure to predict the fracture toughness of a ceramic multilayer composite made of different phases is presented. The procedure requires experiments to measure the intrinsic fracture toughness of the phases and to determine the required material data. The numerical modeling includes a conventional finite element stress analysis and the calculation of the crack driving force based on the concept of configurational (material) forces. The procedure yields the fracture toughness of the composite as a function of the crack length. A bending bar consisting of layers made of alumina and an alumina–zirconia composite is investigated. The bar has a crack perpendicular to the interfaces. The spatial variations of both the thermal residual stresses and the elastic modulus induce shielding and anti-shielding effects on the crack, which are quantified. The numerically predicted fracture toughness is compared with the experimental values.
