One of the most frequent causes of degradation and failure of quasi-brittle biomaterials is
fracture. Mechanical breakdown, even when not catastrophic, is of particular importance in …

The clinical use of all‐ceramic crowns and fixed partial dentures has seen widespread
adoption over the past few years due to their increasing durability and longevity. However …

The objective was to study the subcritical crack growth phenomena and determine the
fracture toughness of two yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia ceramics. One of the two …

Ceramics have rapidly emerged as one of the major dental biomaterials in prosthodontics
due to exceptional aesthetics and outstanding biocompatibility. However, a challenging …

OBJECTIVES: To more efficiently determine the subcritical crack growth (SCG) parameters
of dental ceramics, the effects of stressing rate and choice of statistical regression model on …

The inherent brittleness of ceramics led to a probabilistic approach for designing with
ceramic materials. For tackling this issue, numerous research projects led to the generation …

Reliability analysis of ceramic components under stationary or transient loading is generally
performed on the basis of a Finite Element stress analysis from which the failure probability …

A methodology is shown for predicting the time-dependent reliability of ceramic components
against catastrophic rupture when subjected to transient thermomechanical loads (including …

The present paper is concerned with the application of a plasticity-induced crack-closure
model, FASTRAN, to predict fatigue-crack growth under various load histories in a thin-sheet …

Ceramic turbines have long promised to enable higher fuel efficiencies by accommodating
higher temperatures without cooling, yet no engines with ceramic rotors are in production …
