Prior to any practical application, brittle material components may need to be machined to a
high degree of precision in order to avoid functional breakdown as well as to maintain …

A necessary criterion for brittle fracture in crystals is established, in terms of the spontaneous
emission of dislocations from an atomically sharp cleavage crack. We have calculated the …

A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory and Practical Applications of
Ceramic Materials When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often catastrophic …

Although the basis for understanding the brittle fracture strength of ceramics was established
by AA Griffith in 1920, much of our detailed knowledge was developed during the 1970s …

Crack‐tip bridging by particles is considered to be one of the primary strengthening
mechanisms of ceramic nanocomposites. Small, brittle particulate inclusions have been …

Strains can cause oxide scales to fracture, often leading to loss of protectiveness and
creation of spalling debris. Fracture mechanics is used to identify a number of criteria under …

Die exakte wissenschaftliche Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Keramik hat erst zum Ende des
19. Jahrhunderts eingesetzt. Die dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dienten nicht nur der …

The onset of the mode of microfracture associated with thermal expansion anisotropy has
been calculated for single phase polycrystals. The calculations include estimates of the …

For decades, enormous investigation effort has been devoted to the fabrication of new
ceramic matrix composites with enhanced mechanical properties. One of the most explored …
