LaCer – Návrh, analýza a mechanická charakterizácia laminárnej keramiky
Design, analysis and mechanical characterization of laminar ceramics
Program: Plán obnovy EÚ
Project leader: Dr. Najafzadehkhoee Aliasghar, Ph.D.
Annotation: Engineering ceramics, in particular oxide, is a key enabler in different applications, from dental ceramics to substrates for electronic devices. However, their application is limited due to their brittle nature and catastrophic failure. This project aims to exploit the stress generation between the layers of laminar ceramics during sintering to improve the mechanical performance of bulk laminar ceramics. To this end, different ceramic tapes will be prepared, and laminar ceramics with various architectures will be fabricated. The residual stress in bulk laminated ceramics will be tailored to induce crack-arresting properties, and the mechanical properties and the microstructural features of samples will be investigated. Finally, having the digital twins of the laminated ceramics modeled, the generation of stresses and the mechanical performance of samples will be simulated using finite element methods (FEM) to identify the crucial parameters.
