TY - JOUR AU - Farouk, Monirul AU - Banerjee, Farida AU - Mwangi, Ashraf TI - Ceramic Fracture Toughness: A Finite Element Approach JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 1982 VL - 6 IS - 2 SP - 493 EP - 506 AB - Practical experience with radar systems suggests that ceramic fracture toughness governs much of the observed performance. Using state-space modelling, the principal parameters affecting the response are systematically varied over their practical range. Test specimens exhibited strengths some 57% above the values given by current codes. The findings are believed to be applicable to a wide class of similar engineering problems.
