Mechanical Aspects of Interfaces and Surfaces in Ceramic Containing Systems.
Abstract
The mechanical behavior of various multicomponent materials have been investigated. The systems studied include ceramic matrix composites, metal/ceramic bonded systems and polymer particulate composites. Experimental observations of fracture behavior have been used to develop criteria that identify the fracture parameters pertinent to structural design. For example, the matrix cracking strength and the ultimate tensile strength have emerged as important parameters in ceramic composite failure. Micromechanics models of mechanical behaviors have also been developed, whenever experimental knowledge sufficiently characterizes the important physical features. Matrix cracking in composites and edge effects in metal/ceramic bonded systems are examples of phenomena that have been comprehensively modelled. Originator supplied keywords include: Ceramic matrix composites; metal/ceramic bonded systems; particulate toughened polymers; interface bonding; interface friction; crack blunting; edge effects; fracture toughness; matrix cracking; indentation fracture; and metal/ceramic interfaces.
