Ceramic Material Properties in High-Temperature Environments: Recent Trends in Finite Element Analysis Research

Abstract

The finite element method is commonly utilized for high-temperature ceramics, such as cutting tools, thermal/environmental barrier coatings, and aerospace applications. Cutting performance is influenced by both internal and external factors, including heat transfer, and cutting speed. Friction coefficients and heat transfer issues reveal limitations on cutting tool efficiency, requiring accurate modeling and validation. Although oxide formation and crack failure for barrier coatings are discussed, ceramic materials and geometry must be studied. Extensive research on the nucleation and propagation of micro-crack is needed for next-generation spacecraft component applications by validating the established model based on experimental observation. Modeling and verification research improves ceramic reliability under more stress conditions.
