Abstract

Results are presented of a fracture mechanics based model development effort aimed at designing and assessing the structural integrity of metal-ceramic and ceramic-ceramic joints. The modeling approach is based on simultaneous consideration of both toughness and strength dominated failure modes, and is potentially applicable to a wide variety of joint configurations and load types. The model includes the consideration of residual stresses and both linear and non-linear aspects of the problem of cracks at or near bimaterial interfaces. The modeling effort is supported by experimental work using zirconia-zirconia and cast iron-zirconia specimens. Experimental data are used to assess the predictive accuracy of the model.
