Abstract

The intrinsic high strength, light weight, and heat, corrosion, and irradiation resistance of ceramics positions them as nearly ideal structural materials. However, their inability to resist the growth of cracks causes any tiny flaw to grow into a catastrophically large crack; this renders ceramics brittle and impractical as structural materials for automotive, energy, aerospace, and defense applications, to name a…
