Ceramic Fatigue Analysis

Hi Giri,

what material propertied do you have for ceramic?

What is your end objective?

Hi Giri,

 

what material propertied do you have for ceramic?

 

What is your end objective?

ALON, aluminium nitride.

Major props:

Structure                         Cubic, Spinel
Lattice Constant              7.956–7.936 Å
Density                            3.69 g/cc
Form                               Polycrystalline
Melting Point                  2150°C
Young’s Modulus           320 GPa
Shear Modulus                135 GPa
Poisson’s Ratio               0.24
Hardness                         1800±100 kg/mm2
(Knoop indentation, 200g load)
Fracture Toughness        2.0MPa-m1/2
Flexure Strength             300-700 MPa

Specs: http://www.surmet.com/pdfs/ALON%20Data%20Sheet.pdf

Objective: Cyclic loading. HCF. Find the damage, life expectancy.

And Weibull model is used for reliability analysis, instead of SN curve. No idea, how can I use it in Hypermesh.

Hi,

If model is having shell elements you can try with Radioss XFEM to simulate crack propagation.

Great but I don't have any idea. Is their any documentation (tutorial) or sort?
Can't it be done in Optistruct?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have attached few examples of XFEM for crack propagation.From Radioss 14.0 it will work for solid elements aswell.

In Optistruct we can do fatigue analysis using stress & strain based approach(Not sure for cermaics).Refer online tutorials for more information.
