An ultrasonic technique using normal-incident compressional waves was used to evaluate the surface and subsurface damage in ceramics produced by Hertzian indentation. Damage was produced by a blunt indenter (tungsten carbide ball) in glass-ceramic, green glass and silicon nitride. The damage was classified into two types; (1) Hertzian cone crack, in green glass and fine grain silicon nitride, and (2) distributed subsurface micro fractures, without surface damage, produced in glass ceramic. The ultrasonic technique was successful in detecting cone craks. The measurement results with the Hertzian cone cracks indicated that cracks perpendicular to the surface could be detected by the normal-incident compressional waws. Also shown is the capability of normal-incident compressional waves in detection distributed micro-sized cracks size of subsurface microfractures.

Hertzian contact tests were used to investigate the evolution of fracturedamage in the coating layer as functions of contact load and coating thickness by studying crack patterns in porcelain on glass-infiltrated alumina bilayer system conceived to simulate the crown structure of a tooth. Cone cracks initiated at the coating top surface without delamination at interface and crack propagation to substrate. Preferentially the cracks made multi-cracks at the coating top surface rather than proceeding to interface. The cracks were highly stabilized with wide ranges between the loads to initiate first cracking and to cause final failure im-plying damage-tolerant capability. Finite element modelling was used to evaluate the stress distribution. Maximum tensile stress were responsible for the cracking at the coating layer and had a profound influence on the crack pattern and fracture damage in the layered structure materials.

The effect of the $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase fraction on the mechanical properties in silicon nitrides was investigated in part 1. In part II, we describe the role of microstructure on the mechanical properties and contact damage of silicon nitrides with coarse/equiaxed and coarse/elongated microstructures. Grain sizes and shapes were controlled by starting powder. Hertzian indentation using spherical indenter was also used to investigate contact damage behavior. Cone cracks from the spherical indentation were suppressed when the silicon nitride contains coarse and elongated grains. Coarse and elongated grains played an important role of cone crack suppression. The size of quasi-plastic zone does not depend on grain size or shape but depends on the fraction of $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase. A quasi-plastic zone was consisting of microcracks by shear stress during indentation.

In this study, a bar impact test of low velocity was carried out to gain an insight into the damage mechanism and sequence induced in alumina plates(AD 85 and AD 90) under impact conditions. An experimental setup utilizing an instrumented long bar impact was devised, that can measure directly the impact force applied to the specimen and supply a compressive contact pressure to the specimen. During the bar impact testing, the influences of the contact pressure applied along the impact direction to the specimen on the fracture behavior were investigated. The measured impact force profiles explained well the damage behavior induced in alumina plates. The higher contact pressure to the specimen led to the less damage due to the suppression of radial cracks due to the increase in the apparent flexural stiffness of plate. It had produced the change of damage pattern developed in the specimen; from the radial cracks to the local contact stress dominant damage. It would contribute to the improvement of the ballistic property in ceramic plates. The observed results showed the following sequence in damage developed: The development of cone crack at impact region, the formation of radial cracks from the rear surface of plate depending on the plate thickness, the occurrence of crushing within the cone envelope and the fragmentation.

치아 대체용 재료로서 응용되고있는 유리침윤 알루미나 복합체에서 미세구조 및 압입응력이 파괴거동에 미치는 영향을 헤르찌안 및 비커스 압입시험을 사용하여 조사하였다. 유리침윤 알루미나의 압입 응력벽형 거동은 높은 하중에서 약간의 비선형성을 보이는 준소성과 전형적인 헤르찌안 콘 균열을 동시에 나타내고 있으며, 계면 접합 시험편을 이용한 표면아래의 손상에서도 이를 확인할 수 있었다. 일차 성형체의 압입 응력-변형 곡선은 기공형태 및 입자크기에 크게 의존하고있지만, 유리침윤 공정이후 제조된 복합체에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 복합체의 파괴는 준소성 변형 영역에서 일어나고 있으며, 헤르찌안 압입응력장이 재료손상 및 파괴거동에 미치는 영향을 이론적으로 조사하여 압입응력이 재료의 손상에 미치는 영향이 매우 크다는 것을 알았다. 그러나 압입시험후 행해진 어닐링 공정은 알루미나의 파괴거동에 변화를 가져왔으며, 이는 어닐링 공정을 통해 재료가 받은 응력장이 치료되었음을 알 수 있었다.

A study is made of mechanical properties of unglazed matrix as a funtion of sintering temperature and crack patterns in layer structur pottery consisting of glaze and substrate and in matrix which is sintered at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and 130$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. The mechanical properties of matrix are increased due to density and vitrification to 130$0^{\circ}C$ The interface of glazed bilayer reveals the reactive intermediate layer. Herzian indentation testing is used to investigate the evolution of damage modes as a function of load. In the materials sintered at 120$0^{\circ}C$ quasi-plastic deformation is developed at the matrix and the cone-like cracks initiate at the glazing top surface and additionally upward-extending transverse cracks initiate at the internal in-just initiate at the glazing top surface which pass through the interface with increasing of indentation load. Finally the dominant damage mode shifts from substrate quasi-plasticity to coating fracture with increasing sintering temperature.

질화규소로 코팅된 질화규소-질화붕소 이층 층상복합재료의 접촉하중에 의한 파괴거동을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 코팅층내에서 새로운 종류의 균열들이 발견되었고, 이러한 균열들은 기하학적으로 원추 모양을 가짐을 확인하였다. 외부에서 가한 하중의 에너지는 코팅층 뿐 아니라 damage를 흡수할 수 있는 기판층 내로 분산되어 코팅층에서 시작된 균열들의 전파가 억제되었다.

In order to investigate the possibility of impact punching in brittle materials, an experimental setup was developed. In the setup, a long bar as a punch was used to apply the impact load to the specimen plate and measure the applied impact force during the impact punching process. Impact punching tests with various shape of punches were performed in soda-lime glass and silicon wafer under a different level of contact pressure. The damage appearance after the impact punching was examined according to the applied contact pressure. The minimum contact pressure required for a complete punching in glass specimens without development of radial cracks around the punched hole was sought at each condition. The minimum contact pressure increased with increasing the thickness of specimens and decreasing the end radius of punches. The profile of impact forces was measured during the impact punching experiment, and it could explain well the behavior of the punching process in brittle material plates. The measured impact force increased with increasing the contact pressure applied to the plates.

Part I에 이어서 질화규소로 코팅된 질화규소-질화붕소 시스템에 있어서 접촉하중에 의한 코팅층의 파괴에 대한 코팅층의 두께의 영향을 고찰하였다. 코팅층과 기판층간의 elastic/plastic mismatch가 큰 경우 코팅층의 균열생성을 방지하는 어느 임계 두께가 존재한다는 사실을 발견하였으며, mismatch가 감소할수록 이러한 요구 임계두께가 감소하였다. 또한 가해진 하중이 증가할수록 요구 임계두께는 증가하여야 함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 코팅층의 파괴를 방지하기 위해서는 코팅층과 기판층간의 mismatch와 사용환경(가해지는 하중)을 고려한 적정 임계두께늬 설계가 요구된다.
