Development and validation of a fatigue reliability method for bridging materials

Creator:

Gallops, Sarah

Abstract:

Toughened ceramics, or bridging ceramics, are being developed in an attempt to widen the application base of traditional ceramics, which are brittle and have low resistance to crack extension. The crack growth resistance of these extrinsically toughened ceramics has been shown to increase with crack length, and unlike traditional ceramics,...

Fatigue reliability predictions in silicon nitride ceramics based on fatigue behavior, bridging stresses and fracture data

Creator:

Greene, Rawley Brandon

Abstract:

Because of its attractive material properties like high hardness, high toughness, and excellent high temperature strength, materials like silicon nitride are becoming more common for use in high performance applications. However, there have been limited studies of the fatigue behavior of small cracks in silicon nitride and other materials toughened...
