This paper deals with a description of the crack behaviour in the layered alumina-zirconia ceramic laminate. The main aim is to investigate the crack behaviour in the compressive layer. The crack propagation was investigated on the basis of linear elastic fracture mechanics. Two dimensional finite element models were developed in order to obtain a stress distribution around the crack tip. The stress intensity factors were computed numerically employing the direct method. The change in the crack propagation direction was estimated using criterion based on the strain energy density factor. Sharp crack deflection in the compressive layer was predicted by mentioned approach. The determined crack behaviour is qualitatively in a good agreement with experimental observations.
