Conference ·
OSTI ID:6951422
Papers on structural ceramics and fracture mechanics are presented, covering topics such as the effects of additives on sintering silicon oxynitride, toughening Y-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal, stress-induced transformation in Mg-PSZ, and the properties of fine-grained zirconia-toughened alumina, nitride ceramics, sintered silicon nitride, and SiC. Other topics include processing Si{sub 3}N{sub 4}-SiC composites, whisker reinforced glass-ceramics, Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} ceramics, black and machinable glass ceramics in the CaO-Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-SiO{sub 2}-TR(x)O(y) system, grinding technologies, advanced materials for heat engine components, ceramic composites for high-temperature gas turbines, toughening brittle matrix composites, crack resistance measurements, dynamic fracture toughenss in ceramics and on brittle materials, softening in MgAl2O4 single crystal, computer simulation of fracture in small crystals, stress triaxiality effects on fracture morphology in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys, crack identification by acoustic emission and boundary element method, the micromechanics of dilatancy in brittle materials, nonlinear stress-strain behavior predictions, erosive wear of Si{sub 3}N{sub 4}-SiC composites, whisker/glass composites fabricated from hydrothermally oxidized Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} whisker, subcritical crack extension in ceramics, and crack propagation behavior of sintered Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} under static and cyclic load.
