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

-- mix clay and lime bearing materials-- calcinate (heat to 1400C)
-- primary constituents:
tri-calcium silicate
di-calcium silicate

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.
