Studies examining organic brittle materials highlight the consistency and variability of the Weibull modulus within naturally occurring ceramics such as human dentin and abalone nacre. Research on human dentin [ 14 ] samples indicates that the Weibull modulus remains stable across different depths or locations within the tooth, with an average ...
For most normal-scale applications to metals and fine-grained ceramics, except for micrometer scale devices, the size is large enough for the Weibull theory to apply (but not for coarse-grained materials such as concrete). From Eq. 2 one can show that the mean strength and the coefficient of variation of strength are obtained as follows:
The Weibull distribution (usually sufficient in reliability engineering) is a special case of the three parameter exponentiated Weibull distribution where the additional exponent equals 1. The exponentiated Weibull distribution accommodates unimodal, bathtub shaped [33] and monotone failure rates.
Silicon nitride is a chemical compound of the elements silicon and nitrogen. Si 3 N 4 (Trisilicon tetranitride) is the most thermodynamically stable and commercially important of the silicon nitrides, [6] and the term ″Silicon nitride″ commonly refers to this specific composition.
Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.
The Kaniadakis κ-Weibull distribution is exhibits power-law right tails, and it has the following probability density function: [3] = + ()valid for , where | | < is the entropic index associated with the Kaniadakis entropy, > is the scale parameter, and > is the shape parameter or Weibull modulus.
Thus, there is a probabilistic nature to be accounted for in the design of ceramics. The Weibull distribution predicts the survival probability of a fraction of samples with a certain volume that survive a tensile stress sigma, and is often used to better assess the success of a ceramic in avoiding fracture.
Conventional ceramics are very sensitive to thermal stress because of their high Young's modulus and low elongation capability. Temperature differences and low thermal conductivity create locally different elongations, which together with the high Young's modulus generate high stress.
