Near Tip Mechanics of Stress Induced Microcracking in Brittle Materials
Abstract
dc:descriptionTypically ceramics are processed at high temperatures and cooled to ambient. This causes thermal stresses dominated by expansion mismatches in multiphase ceramics and thermal expansion anisotropies in single phase systems. If the material microstructure (grain size in single phase systems or particle size in multiphase ceramics) is sufficiently large, spontaneous microcracking can occur on cooling after processing. This damage can be avoided by controlling the grain or particle size.
