Mechanical Properties of Ceramics

The mechanical behaviour of ceramic phases is determined in a number of ways depending upon how the force is applied: compressive, tensile, transverse, torsional shear or impact.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CERAMICS

The mechanical behaviour of ceramic phases is determined in a number of ways depending upon how the force is applied: compressive, tensile, transverse, torsional shear or impact.

• Compressive strength: Compressive strength ceramics in general is many times greater than tensile strength. Therefore, ceramics like brick, cement, and glass are always used in the compression and not in tension.

 • Shear strength: High shear strengths and low fracture strengths are generally characteristics of ceramics. Therefore, they commonly fail non-ductile, i.e. in a brittle manner by fracture.

Tensile strength: Tensile strength in ceramics are theoretically high, but in practice are usually quite low. Failures are often due to stress concentrations at the pores, grain corner or microcrack.

Transverse strength or modulus of rupture: Transverse strength is difficult to ascertain in ceramic materials. Ceramics are, therefore not used in places 9869100 where transverse strength of materials is an important criterion.

Torsional strength: Torsional strength is seldom considered as a critical property of ceramics since tensile and cantilever requirements will show the torsional strength of material.

• Modulus of elasticity: Ceramic materials have high nebbua modulus of elasticity ranging from 7 x 1010 to 42 x 1010 N/m2 which indicates the strength of the bond. 

• Plastic deformation: Due to the restricted slip, most icone of the materials does not permit plastic deformation. The ceramic materials have greater resistance to slip than to metals.

Toughness of Ceramic Materials: Due to presence of benim covalent-ionic bonding, ceramics have low toughness.
