Get started for freeThe fracture strength of glass may be increased by etching away a thin surface layer. It is believed that the etching may alter surface crack geometry (i.e., reduce the crack length and increase the tip radius). Compute the ratio of the etched and origi- nal crack-tip radii for a fourfold increase in frac- ture strength if half of the crack length is removed.
For a ceramic compound, what are the two char- acteristics of the component ions that determine the crystal structure?
The flexural strength and associated volume fraction porosity for two specimens of the same ceramic material are as follows:$$ \begin{array}{cc} \hline \sigma_{f s}(\boldsymbol{M P a}) & \boldsymbol{P} \\ \hline 70 & 0.10 \\ \hline 60 & 0.15 \\ \hline \end{array} $$(a) Compute the flexural strength for a completely nonporous specimen of this material. (b) Compute the flexural strength for a \(0.20\) volume fraction porosity.
Calculate the fraction of lattice sites that are Schottky defects for cesium chloride at its melt- ing temperature (645C). Assume an energy for defect formation of 1.86 eV.
The zinc blende crystal structure is one that may be generated from close- packed planes of anions. (a) Will the stacking sequence for this structure be FCC or HCP? Why? (b) Will cations fill tetrahedral or octahedral poitions? Why? (c) What fraction of the positions will be bccupied?
