Abstract

In the paper, the Voronoi tessellation model is used to represent the microstructure of ceramic tool materials. And a finite element model based on cohesive element method has been developed to investigate the fracture behavior of the microstructure. The influences of mesh densities and cohesive parameters on the cracking patterns have been discussed. It is found that the enhancement of the grain boundary strength is beneficial for raising the fracture resistance of single-phase ceramic tool materials.
