Abstract:Thermal fatigue behavior of four kinds of alumina ceramics, having different fracture toughness/ bending strength ratio, was investigated. After the testpieces pre-cracked by Knoop indentation were heated in a constant temperature, they were quenched in water, and their propagated crack lengths were measured. Since the heat transmission condition varied from natural convection to nucleant boiling in the range of this experimental temperature, the heat transfer coefficient was corrected before illustrating the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
