Investigation of different discrete modeling strategies to mimic microstructural aspects that influence the fracture energy of refractory materials

Investigation of different discrete modeling strategies to mimic microstructural aspects that influence the fracture energy of refractory materials

The mismatch between the coefficient of thermal expansion of the constituents within refractory ceramics could advantageously be used to tune the fracturing behavior by inducing numerous microcracks within the microstructure. The Wedge Splitting Test (WST) is thus commonly used to characterize such...
