Abstract: The SCARE (S tructural C eramics A nalysis and R eliability E valuation) computer program on statistical fast fracture reliability analysis with quadratic elements for volume-distributed imperfections ...

Abstract: The computer program CARES/LIFE calculates the time-dependent reliability of monolithic ceramic components subjected to thermomechanical and/or proof test loading. This program is an extension of ...

Abstract: The fast fracture strength distribution of uniaxially ground, alpha silicon carbide was investigated as a function of grinding angle relative to the principal stress direction in flexure. Both ...
