Abstract
Flaw-resistance, KR-curve, thermal shock, and stress-strain behavior of a wide range of different ceramic composites are investigated. The experimental results seem to reveal that there is an interrelation between all four properties. However, more critical considerations show that, despite common trends for the majority of the materials, some materials do not obey this interrelation. Probable reasons for their behavior are discussed.
