X-Ray Analysis of Residual Stresses in Ceramics.

Anisotropic residual stresses in partially crystallized Li2O±2SiO2 glass-ceramics

Levels of residual stresses in partially crystallized Li2O±2SiO2 glass-ceramics were calculated for several crystallographic planes. The stresses were also determined by an X-ray di€raction method (XRD) using synchrotron radiation. The linear thermal expansion coecient (ahkl) of a fully crystallized, stress-free, powdered sample, was measured in situ using a hot-stage XRD technique. The therma...

Fracture of Ceramics with Near Surface Gradient Residual Stresses

The fracture toughness and strength of ceramics can be improved with respect to monolithic ceramics by developing graded materials as laminates composed of periodic alternating layers of one material separated by layers of a second material. The second layer must contain residual compressive stresses which are induced during densification because of differential thermal contraction of the layer...

Electric charge trapping, residual stresses and properties of ceramics after metal/ceramics bonding

Identification of glass and ceramics by X-ray fluorescence analysis with a pyroelectric X-ray generator.

Applications of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis with a pyroelectric X-ray generator are presented. Glass and ceramics were analyzed with this novel X-ray generator to examine its capability for analyzing nonmetallic inorganic material. Although the power of X-ray output was a few orders of magnitude lower than conventional X-ray tubes, many elements such as Si, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Zn, Sr, Ba, ...

Measurement of Residual Stresses in Fiber Reinforced Composites Based on X-Ray Diffraction

1. ABSTRACT X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements have been made to determine residual stresses in embedded Al particles placed between the first and second ply of both unidirectional and fabric graphite/PMR-15 composite specimens. In order to further verify the results obtained, the effect of externally applied four-point bending on the measured strains and stresses in the Al inclusions was inv...
