Composite ceramics, whisker-reinforced

Whisker-reinforced ceramic composites have come into prominence for structural applications because of their potential for high strength and fracture toughness which can be retained at elevated temperatures. Originally applied... [Pg.58]

Fig. 11.1 Examples of transversely isotropic whisker-reinforced ceramic composites.

Insertion of Eqn. (19) into Eqn. (4) along with Eqn. (20) through Eqn. (23) yields a noninteractive reliability model for a three-dimensional state of stress in a transversely isotropic whisker-reinforced ceramic composite. The noninteractive representation of reliability for orthotropic ceramic composites would follow a similar development. The analytical details for this can be found in Duffy and Manderscheid.20...

As a class of ceramic materials, SiC whisker-reinforced ceramic composites were developed for potential structural applications because of the significant improvements in the mechanical properties these materials offered as compared to the monolithic materials. The incorporation of SiC whiskers into alumina ceramics resulted in increases in strength, fracture toughness, thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance and high temperature creep resistance. These discoveries initiated several years of intense study into this class of composites. [Pg.307]
