Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture of a brittle particulate composite
TL;DR: In this article, a modified model for crack-particle interactions in brittle composites is proposed to account for penetrable obstacles, obstacle shape and secondary crack interactions, which is applied to a glass-unbonded nickel sphere composite system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Ceramic Microlaminates by Electrophoretic Deposition
TL;DR: In this paper, Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)/Al2O3 laminar microcomposites with a total of 80 layers, each as thin as ∼2 μm, were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture of a brittle particulate composite: Part 1 Experimental aspects
TL;DR: In this article, the fracture process in a model brittle composite containing nickel spheres in a glass matrix was studied using ultrasonic fractography, which traced changes in the crack front configuration and local crack velocity as the crack interacted with the array of nickel particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionally graded ceramic/ceramic and metal/ceramic composites by electrophoretic deposition
TL;DR: In this paper, a constant current electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been used to synthesize Al2O3/YSZ,Al2O 3/MoSi2, A12O 3 /Ni and YSZ/Ni functionally graded materials (FGM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Acidity on the Electrostatic Stability of Alumina Suspensions in Ethanol
TL;DR: In this paper, an electrostatic stabilization mechanism is proposed and analyzed via Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory for Al 2 O 3 -EtOH suspensions.
