Abstract

Experimental and theoretical investigation of fracture in the borosilicate glass/Al 2 O 3 platelets composite was performed. This composite is a perspective structural material for many applications due to its low production expenses and satisfactory properties even at elevated temperatures. The fractographical analysis was employed to reveal vitality of toughening mechanism with increasing content of reinforcement. Possible synergy between crack deflection and other toughening mechanisms was examined.
