Some Fracture Properties of Alumina-Containing Electrical Porcelains

  • Chapter
Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics

Abstract

The mechanical properties of electrical porcelains for high voltage insulators are important as the products are expected to serve for several decades at high tensile loads. The principles and test methods of linear elastic fracture mechanics are well established to explain and measure the long-term mechanical properties of glass as well as many high performance ceramics. These ideas could also be applied to traditional poly-crystalline ceramics but so far they have been used only to a minor extent in this field (1–8).
