A Study on the Strain-Rate- and Stress-State-Dependent Behavior of Advanced Ceramics: Experimental Mechanics and Multiscale Simulations
DownloadFall 2024
Design and development of better-performing ceramic structures are vital in industry-driven applications where a wide range of strain rates and stress states are induced in the material (e.g., impact events). Accordingly, this thesis investigates the strain-rate and stress-state-dependent...

No design is perfect; all designs have a probability of failure and an associated risk. To prevent failure, or at least reduce it dramatically, there are varieties of techniques that may be employed during and after the design stage. Such methods are briefly described herein.
