Design and Development of Hybrid Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Based Composites with Toughening and Self-Lubricating Second-Phase Inclusions

Polycrystalline ceramics, such as alumina (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), are brittle and they generally wear by fracture mechanism, which limits their potential in tribological applications. In the present work, computational design tools are used to develop hybrid Al<sub&...
