Farle, A.M. (author), Krishnasamy, J. (author), Turteltaub, S.R. (author), Kwakernaak, C. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)A wedge loaded testing methodology to determine the fracture energy and strength of (semi-) brittle (metallo-)ceramics is presented. The methodology combines a tailored specimen geometry and a comprehensive finite element analysis based on cohesive zone modelling. The use of a simulation-based approach to extract both fracture strength and...journal article 2018

Boatemaa, L. (author), Bosch, Myrthe (author), Farle, A.M. (author), Bei, G. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)In this work, the oxidation-induced crack healing of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> containing 20 vol.% of Ti<sub>2</sub>AlC MAX phase inclusions as healing particles was studied. The oxidation kinetics of the Ti<sub>2</sub>AlC particles having an average diameter of about 10 μm was studied via thermogravimetry and/or differential thermal...journal article 2018

(author)Closure of surface cracks by self-healing of conventional and MAX phase ceramics under realistic turbulent combustion chamber conditions is presented. Three ceramics namely; Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, Ti<sub>2</sub>AlC and Cr<sub>2</sub>AlC are investigated. Healing was achieved in Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> by even dispersion of TiC...journal article 2016
