Numerical Study of Thermal Shock Damage Mechanism of Polycrystalline Ceramics

A dual-scale model is proposed to study the effect of microstructure parameters (grain size and grain boundary fracture energy) on the thermal shock damage mechanism on an example of alumina. At microscale, representative volume element (RVE) models generated by Voronoi tessellation are simulated to...
