I have been investigating ceramics for high thermal loading and have come accross papers describing thermal shock resistance for laminate and fibrous monolith ceramics (from Clegg and Halloran). They seem to give good results, but I am unsure about there use in structural applications. Does...
I am trying to model thermal stresses in a rectangular ceramic bar and have used a 2-D model. Is the out-of plane stresses that were calculated valid, or do I need a 3-D model fo see what the stresses in the Z-axis are?
