An elastoplastic phase-field model is used to investigate the deformation mechanisms of yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia in presence of defects. A remarkable tension-compression asymmetry is detected. A higher strength and a lower degree of transformation are observed in compression than in tension. Also, deformation mechanism is asymmetric depending on the crystal orientation. For some cases (other cases), phase transformation is absent in tension (in compression), while both transformation and plasticity are present in compression (in tension). Such tension-compression asymmetry is attributed to activation of different monoclinic variants with different Eigen strain tensors in tension versus compression. Results also reveal a higher degree of transformation and plasticity with lower onset stresses as the void size increases. Elliptic voids exhibit a directional effect with a maximum stress intensity factor of 5.6 MPa m1/2when the long semi-axis is diagonally oriented with respect to the loading direction, and this prediction is comparable to experiments.
