The experimental recognition of appreciable toughening by extrinsic mechanisms (particularly crack-wake bridging and transformation toughening) in engineering ceramics stimulates the development of new methods of microscopic stress analysis to verify and extend theoretical micromechanics. This paper focuses on two piezospectroscopic techniques, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy.
