Qualitative description on channel cracking in ceramic type coatings due to substrate tension using 3D discrete element method

Dynamic compressive response and fracture mechanisms of ZrB2–SiC ceramic based on discrete element method

“…The discrete element method (DEM) has been used to understand the micromechanics of ceramics 16‐21. For example, crack propagation and wear estimation of the ceramic tool in cutting Inconel, 17 fracture, and damage in the machining process of polycrystalline SiC, 18 the study of the internal crack propagation mechanism of SiC ceramic materials under preexisting single and random flaws, 19,20 and the quasi‐brittle behavior of refractory ceramics 21 . These are based on static analysis methods and lack further research in dynamic analysis.…”
