Abstract
The special features of the processes that occur in ceramic materials fracturing in a wide temperature range are considered. It is shown that the brittleness of these materials is explainable by the special features of their crystalline structure. For the same reasons they exhibit plasticity only in the range of high temperatures. General problems of the strength of ceramics are considered from the standpoint of synergetics, which studies the processes of time-and-space ordering and self-organization in nonequilibrium systems.
