Evaluation ofKIc of brittle solids by the indentation method with low crack-to-indent ratios
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Crystallites on Surface Damage and Fracture Behavior of a Glass‐Ceramic
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of crystallization on fracture toughness, strength, and resistance to surface damage of glass-ceramic materials with a range of microstructures obtained by different heat treatments was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of thermal fatigue behaviour of brittle structural materials
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the level of maximum temperature (Tmax), the temperature range (ΔT), and the mode of convective heat transfer on the thermal fatigue resistance of brittle structural materials is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations on the characteristics of a fluidized bed for the thermal shock testing of brittle ceramics
TL;DR: In this article, the heat transfer characteristics of a fluidized bed used as a quenching medium for the thermal stress testing of brittle ceramics, were determined by measurements of the thermal shock behaviour of rods of a soda-lime-silica glass.
