On Crack Arrest in Ceramic / Metal Assemblies
Brittle parts of ceramic/metal assemblies are subjected to a residual stress field generated by the fabrication. During that process, cracks are initiated and the key question is whether they propagate through the whole brittle part. The use of classical probabilistic fracture models applied to the ceramic (i.e., based on a weakest link hypothesis), allow one to conclude that cracks are likely ...
متن کاملSlow crack growth: models and experiments
The properties of slow crack growth in brittle materials are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. We propose a model based on a thermally activated rupture process. Considering a 2D spring network submitted to an external load and to thermal noise, we show that a preexisting crack in the network may slowly grow because of stress fluctuations. An analytical solution is found for the e...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation on Stable Crack Growth in Plane Stress
Large deformation finite element analysis has been carried out to investigate the stress-strain fields ahead of a growing crack for compact tension (a/W=0.5) and three-point bend (a/W=0.1 and 0.5) specimens under plane stress condition. The crack growth is controlled by the experimental J-integral resistance curves measured by Sun et al. The results indicate that the distributions of opening st...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Slow Crack Growth Experiments
A common approach for the determination of Slow Crack Growth (SCG) parameters are the static and dynamic loading method. Since materials with small Weibull module show a large variability in strength, a correct statistical analysis of the data is indispensable. In this work we propose the use of the Maximum Likelihood method and a Baysian analysis, which, in contrast to the standard procedures,...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Crack Formation in All Ceramic Dental Bridge
Ceramics have rapidly emerged as one of the major dental biomaterials in prosthodontics due to exceptional aesthetics and outstanding biocompatibility. However, a challenging aspect remaining is its higher failure rate due to brittleness, which has to a certain extent prevented the ceramics from fully replacing metals in such major dental restorations as multi-unit bridges. This paper aims at s...
