Fracture Strength Properties and Unified Estimation Method for Structural Ceramics

Accept/Reject Criteria for Structural Ceramics: Probablistic Models for Inclusion Initiated Fracture in Ceramics

Fracture tests on hot-pressed silicon nitride containing several types of inclusions have been conducted. Fracture models pertinent to each inclusion type have been proposed and correlated with the data. The resultant fracture probability relations are one of the key inputs to accept/reject decisions for nondestructive failure prediction.

Simplified method for determining fracture toughness of two dental ceramics.

This study compared the fracture toughness values (KIC), which were derived from simplified techniques: the indentation fracture (IF), the indentation strength (IS), and fractographic approach to that from a standard testing using surface cracks in flexure (SCF). Forty bar specimens, twenty IPS Empress(®) Esthetic and twenty IPS e.max(®)Ceram were prepared. Ten specimens in each material were t...

Synthesis, Microstructure and Properties of High-Strength Porous Ceramics

Evaluation Method of Fracture Properties of Fiber-reinforced Self-healing Ceramics

ID No. : FC-168 ABSTRACT Fiber-reinforced self-healing ceramic (shFRC) [1] is considered to be most attractive candidate of next generation structural materials using at high temperature, e.g. turbine blade, exhaust component of car engine etc. The shFRCs consist of three components, which are oxide fiber bundle, oxide matrix and self-healing agent interlayer. As the self-healing is generated a...

The Effect of Europium Doping on the Structural and Magnetic Properties of GdMnO3 Multiferroic Ceramics

Single phase Eu doped GdMnO3 ceramics were prepared using solid state reaction route. Several different characterization techniques were used to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of the samples, including X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). All samples indicated single p...
