Fracture toughness (K_IC) is resistance to crack propagation: higher means harder to break even with flaws.
Trin-for-trin guide
- 1Input material properties and defect size
- 2Calculate stress intensity factor
- 3Determine fracture criterion
Løste eksempler
Input
Steel K_IC ≈ 100 MPa√m (tough)
Resultat
vs. Ceramic K_IC ≈ 5 MPa√m (brittle)
Almindelige fejl at undgå
- ✕Confusing toughness with strength
- ✕Not accounting for stress concentration
Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Why do ceramics have low toughness?
No crack blunting mechanism; brittle failure from small flaws.
