    Mechanical Properties

    We know that ceramics are more brittle than

    metals. Why?

    Consider method of deformation

    slippage along slip planes in ionic solids this slippage is very difficult

    too much energy needed to move one anion past

    another anion

    Silicate Ceramics

    Most common elements on earth are Si & O

    SiO2 (silica) structures are quartz, crystobalite, &tridymite

    The strong Si-O bond leads to a strong, high melting

    material (1710C)

    Amorphous Silica

    Silica gels - amorphous SiO2

    Si4+ and O2- not in well-ordered

    lattice

    Charge balanced by H+ (to form

    OH-) at dangling bonds

    very high surface area > 200 m2/g

    SiO2 is quite stable, therefore

    unreactive

    makes good catalyst support

    Properties:-- Tm for glass is moderate, but large for other ceramics.

    -- Small toughness, ductility; large moduli & creep resist.

    Applications:-- High T, wear resistant, novel uses from charge neutrality. Fabrication

    -- other ceramics can not be formed or cast.

    Approach:Add Ca impurity to ZrO2:

    Forming: done usually minutes after hydration begins.

    ISSUES TO ADDRESS...

    What are the classes and types of composites?

    Why are composites used instead of metals,ceramics, or polymers?

    How do we estimate composite stiffness & strength?

    What are some typical applications?

    Composites

    Combine materials with the objective of getting amore desirable combination of properties

    Ex: get flexibility & weight of a polymer plus the

    strength of a ceramic

    Principle of combined action

    Mixture gives averaged properties

    Concrete gravel + sand + cement- Why sand andgravel? Sand packs into gravel voids

    Reinforced concrete - Reinforce with steel rerod or remesh- increases strength - even if cement matrix is cracked

    Prestressed concrete - remesh under tension during setting ofconcrete. Tension release puts concrete under compressive force

    - Concrete much stronger under compression.

    - Applied tension must exceed compressive force

    Composites are classified according to:-- the matrix material (CMC, MMC, PMC)-- the reinforcement geometry (particles, fibers, layers).

    Composites enhance matrix properties:-- MMC: enhance y, TS, creep performance

    -- CMC: enhance Kc-- PMC: enhance E, y, TS, creep performance

    Particulate-reinforced:-- Elastic modulus can be estimated.

    -- Properties are isotropic.

    Fiber-reinforced:-- Elastic modulus and TS can be estimated along fiber dir.

    -- Properties can be isotropic or anisotropic.

    Structural:-- Based on build-up of sandwiches in layered form.
