5 Questions
Which type of material has a low tolerance for stress concentrations and high-contact stresses?
Ceramics
What is the strength of ceramics in compression compared to tension?
About 15 times larger
How do ductile materials accommodate stress concentrations?
By deforming in a way that redistributes the load more evenly
Why are ceramics not as easy to design with as metals?
Because they are brittle and have a wide scatter in strength
What are some attractive features of ceramics?
They are stiff, hard, and abrasion-resistant
