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.
Intense research is underway to develop adiabatic engines that require no cooling of the engine block. Such engines are based on ceramic materials because of the ability of such materials to withstand high temperatures. Write an essay on the current status of adiabatic engine development. Also determine the highest possible efficiencies with these engines, and compare them to the highest possible efficiencies of current engines.
A ceramic component with Young’s modulus of 300 GPa and a KIc of 4 MPa.m1/2 is to survive a water quench from 500°C to room temperature of 25°C.

Assume that there are 20 flaws of 2 μm size. Poisson ratio of the ceramic material is 0.25.
