Indentation of Ceramics with Spheres: A Century After Hertz

May 4, 1998
Author(s)
Brian R. Lawn
In this article we review the nature and mechanics of damage induced in ceramics by spherical indenters, from the classical studies of Hertz over a century ago to the present day. Basic descriptions of continuum elastic and elastic-plastic contact stress

May 1, 1998
Author(s)
M L. Cerrada, G B. McKenna, J M. O'Reilly, J E. Greene, J R. Gillmor
Characterization of the viscoelastic and aging responses of poly [ethylene naphthalate] [PEN] is of increasing interest as this material begins to see greater use in commercial applications. In typical aging experiments, one quenches the glass transition

Author(s)
Vincent A. Hackley
A world wide web (www) site focussing on NIST efforts in ultrasonic applications development for ceramic processing in fluid-based systems. This site contains information related to facilities, instrumentation, research, and ultrasonic techniques in

Anisotropic Microstructure of Plasma-Sprayed Deposits

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
J Ilavsky, Gabrielle G. Long, Andrew J. Allen, L Leblanc, M Prystay, C Moreau, Alan H. Band
The microstructure of plasma-sprayed deposits [PSD] is dominated by two void systems-interlamellar pores and intralamellar cracks - each with a different anisotropy. Varying anisotropies and crack-to-pore ratios within PSDs are responsible for the

Fracture Toughness Data for Brittle Materials

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
R G. Munro, Stephen W. Freiman, T L. Baker
Fracture toughness data, as represented by the critical stress intensity factor, K Ic, and the fracture energy, γ, have been compiled from publicly accessible sources for a wide range of brittle materials with an emphasis on structural ceramics and closely

Preparation and Characterization of Polymer/Dendrimer Blends Progress Report 3/31/98

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
Eric J. Amis, Barry J. Bauer, A Topp, T J. Prosa, Da-Wei Liu, C L. Jackson, Alamgir Karim, B D. Ermi, K A. Barnes, A Nakatani, G Nisato, R Ivkov
Dendrimer and dendrigraft solutions, blends, and interpenetrating polymer networks are characterized by small angle neutron and x-ray scattering, reflectivity, and transmission electron microscopy.

USAXS Studies of Silica Fume Additives in Cements and Concrete

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen, Richard A. Livingston
Supplementary cementitious materials like silica fume, which are added to the cement mix and react with calcium ions in the pore solution, enhance the production of calcium-silicate-hydrate gel and modify the microstructure in other ways. By combining

Pb-Distribution in a Five-Phase (Bi, Pd)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Assemblage

March 12, 1998
Author(s)
Lawrence P. Cook, Winnie K. Wong-Ng
The partitioning of lead between phases in the nominal five-phase assemblage: (Pb,Bi) 3Sr 2Ca 2CuO x + (Ca,Sr) 2PbO 4 + (Bi,Pb) 2Sr 2CaCu 2O x + (Ca,Sr)O + Liquid has been investigated in an atmosphere of 7.5% O 2925% Ar. Samples were studied using a

Dynamic and Static Grain Growth During the Superplastic Deformation of 3Y-TZP

March 1, 1998
Author(s)
J Seidensticker, M J. Mayo
While phenomenological theories of superplasticity have often suffered from the fact that a single phenomenological law is not universally applicable to all superplastic systems, it is shown that a universal dynamic grain growth law does apply. The law is

Multiple Fiber Technique for the Single Fiber Fragmentation Test

March 1, 1998
Author(s)
Chang K. Moon, Walter G. McDonough
The single fiber fragmentation test has been modified by embedding multiple fibers into matrix resin. During testing, we examined the interfacial shear strengths between the fibers and the matrix. In addition, the time-dependent nature of the fragmentation

Small Angle Scattering by Dislocations

March 1, 1998
Author(s)
R Thomson, Lyle E. Levine, Gabrielle G. Long
It is shown that the small-angle scattering of x rays or neutrons by dislocations in a deformed metal, which are partially ordered into wall-like structures, is characterized by several structure factors. Principally there are associated with 1) a single

Structure Analysis of the 6H - Ba[Ti,Fe 3+ ,Fe 4+ ]O 3 -d^ Solid Solution

February 1, 1998
Author(s)
I E. Grey, C Li, L M. Cranswick, Robert S. Roth, Terrell A. Vanderah
The 6H form of BaTiO 3 forms an extensive solid solution with barium iron oxide, having the general formula BaTi 1-X-yFe 3+ xFe 4+ yO 3-δ, δ=x/2, where the Feu3+^/Fe 4+ ratio depends on reaction temperature and gas atmosphere. Solid solution members having

The 1997 NIST Ceramics Division Report is organized in the form of programs, emphasizing a desire to develop more extensive collaborations among both Division and Materials Science and Engineering laboratory personnel, and to conduct focussed activities on

Effect of Interface Properties on Microcracking of Iron Titanate

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
A Saigal, Stephen A. Langer, W Carter, M H. Zimmerman, K T. Faber, Lin-Sien H. Lum
It has been shown both experimentally and theoretically that mechanical properties are strongly dependent on the grain size in single-phase polycrystalline ceramics with large thermal expansion anisotropy [1,2]. This dependence is related to the residual
