Thesis
Characterisation of armour ceramics at the microstructural scale for modelling of impact
- Abstract:
-
The present DPhil thesis aims to provide new insights into the deformation and failure mechanisms of armour ceramics by carrying out experimental investigations at the microstructural scale, which can be integrated into numerical modelling to enhance its predictive capability for ceramic armour designs.
Grain size distributions of polycrystalline alumina with varying microstructures were characterised precisely by employing the method of digitising grain contours from SEM images. T...
