Abstract
Ceramic materials are typically brittle materials, presenting very different mechanical behavior when compared to metallic and polymeric materials. Usually, the most important mechanical properties of ceramic materials concerning their mechanical behavior are tensile strength and fracture resistance, based on concepts of Fracture Mechanics.
