Abstract

This chapter describes the stress fields in a single‐domain sample of metal‐ceramic composite containing multiple cracks in the ceramic layer. The domain size and the lamellae spacing are functions of the freeze‐casting parameters, whereas the ceramic content of the preform depends upon the initial composition of the suspension. For small crack spacing, crack widening contributes to reduction of the maximum axial stress value at mid‐point between the cracks. Crack widening also changes the distribution of the shear stresses in the vicinity of the crack tip and the crack tip region. The influence of crack distances and crack widening on the stress distribution in metalceramic composites with lamellar microstructure was studied using analytical and FE methods. FE model predicted the development of the compressive zone in between the cracks for small distances between the cracks. For small crack spacing, crack widening contributes to reduction of the maximum axial stress value at mid‐point between the cracks. Material behaviour of the metallic and ceramic layers was modelled as elastic.
