Thermo-Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of High-Temperature Structural Materials.
Abstract
This report contains studies, completed over the period from 1/1/80 to 12/31/80 as part of a research program on the thermo-mechanical and thermal behavior of high-temperature structural materials, in the form of individual chapters as follows: Effect of Bath and Specimen Temperature on the Thermal Stress Resistance of Brittle Ceramics Subjected to Thermal Quenching; Improvement of Thermal Shock Resistance of Brittle Structural Ceramics by a Dispersed Phase of Zirconia; Effect of Phase Composition and Microstructure on the Thermal Diffusivity of Silicon Nitride; Orientation Effects on the Thermal Diffusivity of Hot-Pressed Silicon Nitride; Observations on the Sub-Critical Growth and Healing of Micro-cracks in Brittle Ceramics; Thermal Stresses in Partially Absorbing Flat Plate Symmetrically Heated by Thermal Radiation and Cooled by Convection; Analysis of Thermal Stress Resistance of Partially Absorbing Ceramic Plate Subjected to Asymmetric Radiation, II, Convective Cooling at Front Surface; Effect of Nature of Concavity of Temperature Distribution on Position and Sign of Maximum Thermal Stress; Effect of Crack Interaction on the Fracture Initiation and Crack Propagation in Brittle Ceramics Subjected to Severe Thermal Shock; Reviews and Books.
