“…The fracture strength dependence on ρ 0.5 (ρ = density) in the density‐dependent regime can be further understood as a relationship between fracture strength and elastic modulus ( σ f is proportional to E 0.5 ), where the elastic modulus is dependent on the density ( E is proportional to ρ).

“…The fracture strength dependence on ρ 0.5 (ρ ¼ density) in the density-dependent regime can be further understood as a relationship between fracture strength and elastic modulus (σ f is proportional to E 0.5 ), where the elastic modulus is dependent on the density (E is proportional to ρ). [64] To confirm the validity of the fracture dataset, a Weibull analysis was conducted. [65,66] For Weibull analysis, the ASTM C1161 standard recommends a minimum of 30 tests.…”

Densification and Fracture Responses of (Ta_1−xW_x)C–WC Composites

The mechanical behavior of 90 vol% (Ta1−xWx)C–10 vol% WC (x ≈ 0.2) [90(Ta0.8W0.2)C–10WC] composites is described, achieving a significant enhancement in mean fracture strength compared with nominally pure TaC prepared under identical processing conditions (from 114 to 362 MPa), and a higher characteristic strength (from 188 to 377 MPa), while maintaining the same Weibull modulus of 13. The fracture strengths correspond to calculated critical flaw sizes in the range of 5–10 μm and are consistent with the microstructure observations presented. The 90(Ta0.8W0.2)C–10WC composite begins densification at an onset sintering temperature of 1503 K, which is 500 K lower than TaC. It also exhibits enhanced densification by inhibiting grain growth at sintering temperatures up to 2173 K, therefore resulting in a relative density of 98% compared with 80% for TaC. These results show a promising guideline from which ceramic additions can be chosen to enhance the densification and functionality of ultrahigh‐temperature ceramics.

“…However, there are strategies to overcome these exclusions. For instance, the as-yet unborn usually require elaborate metaphysical arguments such as eternalism (Griffith 2017) and a present-rights-of-future-persons view of human rights (Elliot 1989; Schlossberger 2008, 216–233), whereas there seem to be less sophisticated ways of considering children ‘affected’.…”

As a reaction against contemporary democracy's inherent short-sightedness in solving problems that are likely to affect distant future generations, there has been a recent increase in proposals for different kinds of democratic representation of future persons. This article shows that even though there can be no such thing as political representation of future persons, the relevant affected interests of the as-yet unborn can still be taken into consideration in political decision making. This aim is achieved by focusing on the political representation of children as special cases of semi-future members of the class of the represented.

“…A third kind of reaction is to attack the sceptic arguments' underlying metaphysics of time and modality. Rather than thinking of duration as a three‐point linear order of past, present, and future, these reactions talk about identity in terms of an eternalist metaphysics of time in which all moments are actual (Griffith, ) or about the need for acknowledging alternative accounts of modality encompassing counterpart theory in which possible worlds are equally actual in their own way (Wrigley, ). The advantage of such reactions is that they prevent a future person from measuring violations of her rights against nonexistence—her rights exist in her world and can be compared with other existing rights in other temporal or possible worlds.…”

A theory of intergenerational justice consists in the study of the moral and political status of the relations between present and past or future people, more specifically, of the obligations and entitlements they can potentially generate. The challenges that justify talking about responsibilities between generations are myriad (e.g., the amount of public debt that is fair to incur; the funding of future pensions; reparations for past wrongs; climate change). And the disputes they prompt can focus on the past just as much as on the present, even though the fact that the human species has reached a state of technological progress that enables it to have an irredeemable impact on the planet and perhaps even endanger future human existence tends to make concerns about the future more pressing. Debates on intergenerational justice are twofold. The first revolves around the issue of whether claims of justice across generations whose members' lifetimes do not necessarily overlap could be justified. And the second revolves around the specific conception of justice in play, that is, around the nature of the standard that must be applied as well as around the identification of the contents of the duties that present generations supposedly have vis-à-vis past or future generations. This survey article depicts the conceptual and argumentative framework in which these debates are set.It aims to outline certain of the main features shared by the most influential contemporary theories of intergenerational justice, and the problems inherent in them. It concludes by suggesting that, even though the idea of succeeding generations is merely an abstraction, there are specific empirical states of affairs that require different theoretical responses to intergenerational justice.
