Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

Multiscale modeling of crack propagation in homogeneously heated aluminium oxide is presented. It is known that the crack propagation velocity depends on both the bulk modulus and surface energy of a material. The temperature dependence of surface energy is often ignored owing to the difficulty associated with obtaining a reliable measurement. Such dependence was calculated in atomic-scale calculations by means of Molecular Dynamics with MEAM potential. The dependence shows a linear decrease with an increase in temperature. The MD results are used as input for phase field simulations of fracture. It is shown that if only the temperature dependence of the bulk modulus is taken into account the crack velocity decreases by 30 %. However, only a 2 % decrease is observed when both the temperature dependence of surface energy and bulk modulus are considered.
