CERAMIC COMPOSITE-MATERIALS

The article is devoted to developing ceramic composite materials with fiber reinforcement, features of their failure, and the possibility of improving mechanical properties. The state of the technology is considered for producing composite materials. Information is presented about the level of mechanical properties of ceramic composite materials including crack resistance. On the basis of the concepts of fracture mechanics processes are discussed for energy dissipation during crack propagation and also possible mechanisms for retarding cracks. The future is considered for use of composite materials with ceramic matrices in various fields of technology.
