Question

 A ceramic with KIc = 4 MPa m1/2 contains pores with radius a = 5 µm due

 

to incomplete sintering. These pores lead to a decrease in the failure stress

 

of the material in both tension and compression. One in every ten grainboundary junctions contains a void; the grain size of the ceramic is 50 µm.

 

The ceramic fails in compression when the length ℓ of each crack generated

 

at the voids equals one-half of the spacing between the voids.

 

(a) Determine the compression strength of the ceramic, using the equation

 

from Sammis and Ashby.

 

(b) Determine the tensile strength of the ceramic, assuming flaws with

 

size a.
