Abstract
Piezoelectric ceramics were integrated into an aluminum matrix to enhance their strength. The strength, obtained via a three-point bending test conducted both pre- and postembedding the piezoelectric ceramics, was analyzed using a Weibull distribution. The analysis aimed to provide a quantitative assessment of the strength augmentation. The Weibull modulus increased from 4.30 to 5.96, while the scale parameter rose from 125.1 to 167.8 MPa. Notably, a distinct inflection point emerged in the Weibull plot of the composite piezoelectric ceramics, indicating a shift in the fracture mode. This transition in fracture mode is attributed to matrix yielding, a conjecture supported by the Weibull modulus aligning with the Weibull modulus of strength at the yield. The microstructures of the composites emerged as pivotal factors that influenced the fracture mode transition. Microstructural defects at the interface contributed to reducing the interfacial strength, which induced differences in fracture modes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
