Effect of Interface Structure on the Microstructural Evolution of Ceramics
The interface atomic structure was proposed to have a critical effect on the microstructure evolution during sintering of ceramic materials. In liquid-phase sintering, spherical grains show the normal grain growth behavior without exception, while angular grains often grow abnormally. The coarsening process of spherical grains with a disordered or rough interface atomic structure is diffusion-c...
متن کاملMicrostructural Design of Toughened Ceramics
The fracture toughness of ceramics can be improved by the incorporation of a variety of discontinuous, elastic reinforcing phases that generate a crack-bridging zone. Recent models of toughening by crack-bridging processes are discussed and used to describe the behavior observed in whisker-reinforced ceramics. The toughening response in ceramics reinforced with other types of discontinuous rein...
متن کاملHIGH TEMPERATURE ELASTIC STRAIN EVOLUTION IN Si3N4-BASED CERAMICS
Tension experiments in vacuum were performed on a monolithic Si3N4 sample at 1375°C and a 20Vol% SiCp-Si3N4 composite sample at 1400°C using the new SMARTS diffractometer at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The deep penetration of neutrons facilitated these in-situ studies. In particular, the hkl-dependent strains were measured and the results interpreted by Eshelby-based modeling for the...
متن کاملMicrostructural design of platelet reinforced ceramics
Platelet reinforcement can increase the fracture toughness of ceramics. However, the responsible mechanisms are still not clearly understood. In this paper we examine the role of residual stresses due to thermal expansion mismatch. The residual stress distribution can be calculated using the effective-field approximation for ellipsoidal inclusions. The three main toughening mechanisms (crack de...
متن کاملTHERMAL FRACTURE OF CERAMICS WITH TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT PROPERnES
Some aspects of thetmal fracture mechanics of ceramics with temperature-dependent properties are studied. It is first shown that the square-root singular field still prevaiLY in the crack tip region. However, the size of the K-dominant zone may be influenced by the effect of temperature-dependent properties. Then the steady thetmal stress intensity factor in an edge-cracked strip is calculated....
