Silicon nitride duration

Early work (e.g., Refs. 44 and 45) on silicon nitride ceramics for a limited range of high temperature cyclic loading conditions led to the hypothesis that the mechanisms of cyclic and static fracture at elevated temperature are identical, and that the cyclic crack growth rates can be predicted on the basis of static fracture data. One of the techniques commonly used to derive cyclic crack growth rates solely on the basis of static load fracture data involves integration of the relationship in Eqn. (13) over the duration of the fatigue cycle such that... 

Table II presents the specific wear rates (in mm /Nm, volume loss per unit load per unit sliding distance) and average kinetic friction coefficients of the composites sliding versus steel and silicon nitride, upon initial and continued sliding. Plots of friction coefficient versus sliding duration in kilocycles (1 kc = 107 m) are shown in Figures 2-5, for all experiments. All composites formed transfer films upon sliding against both steel and silicon nitride. The films were similar in appearance under optical microscopy, and covered approximately 30% of the contact region.

The simplicity of this plastic model is that all the parameter that is required isp , which can be determined through routine static indentation testing, as also demonstrated for various ductile projectiles (steels and brass) impacted on silicon nitride targets [10]. However, pertinent experimental techniques should be sought to determine more accurately the related dynamic patameters such as impact force, stresses, deformation, duration of impact, coefficient of restitution, and stress wave propagations, etc. Frictional constraint by property mismatch between projectiles and targets of dissimilar materials needs to be taken into account in some cases.
