A Statistical Analysis of Lifetime Predictions for Ceramics Exhibiting a Transition in Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior

  • Chapter
Book cover Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics

Part of the book series: Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics ((FMOC,volume 10))

Abstract

Reliability analyses for structural ceramic components are indispensable for determining the distribution and time-dependency of strength. Many kinds of ceramics exhibit a transition in fatigue crack growth behavior in a KI — V diagram resulting from crack growth acceleration due to cyclic loading and the reaching of the fatigue limit. Based on the Weibull distribution function, a statistical analysis was made of lifetime predictions for ceramics exhibiting a transition in fatigue crack growth behavior. The lifetime distribution was defined by a composite Weibull distribution function. Therefore, a change in the slope of the Weibull plot of the fatigue lifetime was seen for ceramic materials exhibiting a transition in fatigue crack growth behavior. The apparent Weibull shape parameters of fatigue lifetime distributions changed as a function of the maximum applied stress in cyclic loading.
