Ceramic materials provide outstanding chemical and structural stability at high temperatures and in hostile environments but are susceptible to catastrophic fracture that severely limits their applicability. Traditional approaches to partially overcome this limitation rely on activating toughening mechanisms during crack growth to postpone fracture. Here, we demonstrate a more potent toughening mechanism that involves an intriguing possibility of healing the cracks as they form, even at room temperature, in an atomically layered ternary carbide. Crystals of this class of ceramic materials readily fracture along weakly bonded crystallographic planes. However, the onset of an abstruse mode of deformation, referred to as kinking in these materials, induces large crystallographic rotations and plastic deformation that physically heal the cracks. This implies that the toughness of numerous other layered ceramic materials, whose broader applications have been limited by their susceptibility to catastrophic fracture, can also be enhanced by microstructural engineering to promote kinking and crack-healing.

Al2O3 Toughened by SiC particles was hot-press sintered. Cracks of ~300μm in diameter were introduced in the surfaces of specimens, which then healed at 1000°C, 1200°C, 1300°C, 1400°C, and individually for 2h, 4h, 6h and 8h. Effect of healing temperature on bending strength, healing mechanism were systematically investigated, the results show that the best bending strength recovered at room temperature was 583.61MPa obtained at 1300°C for 4h, which was the same value as perfect specimens. The recovery of bending strength contributes to three kinds of mechanisms. When specimens were healed individually at 1000°C, 1200°C, 1300°C for 2h, adsorption mechanism and proliferation mechanism were as the dominant healing mechanisms; when healed at 1400°C for 2h, oxidation reaction mechanism was the important healing mechanism. Also, the length of surface cracks is shorter as healing temperature increasing.

Crack propagating evaluation is needed to predict and prevent structural damages since many structure defects from numerous crack propagating. It is widely known that ductile fracture occurs when external load is exerted to the material, these load include strong and unpredictable load such as earthquakes and collision of objects. Ductile material fractures via nucleation of void, growth of void and coalescence of voids. Many studies have been conducted; Kikuchi and Sannoumaru have published papers on the studies of ductile fracture. In the first paper [1], the thickness effect on the microscopic fracture process and fracture toughness is studied experimentally. In the second paper [2], dimple fracture tests were performed using three point bending specimens. In the test, loading condition is changed from mode I to mixed mode condition to study the effect of the mixed mode loading. Numerical simulation is conducted using Gurson’s constitutive equation. It is found that crack growth direction is affected significantly by the loading condition. Ductile fracture of a pipe used in Light Water Reactor components is researched in this paper. Four point bending of a pipe experiment had been done by the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry [3]. They were experimented in two conditions; one at room temperature (23 ) and second at high temperature (300 ). As a result, crack propagation behavior differs largely form each other. At room temperature, crack propagates parallel from the pre crack, and at high temperature, crack propagates in a slanting direction from the pre crack. Results show that that difference from the two temperature distinction of a tensile test in a stress strain curve is very little. In this paper, this problem is studied at first by experiments, observation of fracture surface and numerical simulation.

Recently we have been investigating a class of nickel-base superalloys which possess substantial room temperature ductility. This improvement in ductility is directly related to improvements in grain boundary strength due to increased boundary cohesion through control of detrimental impurities and improved boundary shear strength by controlled grain boundary micros true tures.For these investigations an experimental nickel-base superalloy was doped with different levels of sulphur impurity. The micros tructure after a heat treatment of 1360°C for 2 hr, 1200°C for 16 hr consists of coherent precipitates of γ’ Ni3(Al,X) in a nickel solid solution matrix.

A fire involving an electric service transformer and its cooling fluid, a mixture of PCBs and chlorinated benzenes, contaminated an office building with a fine soot. Chemical analysis showed PCDDs and PCDFs including the highly toxic tetra isomers. Guinea pigs were chosen as an experimental animal to test the soot's toxicity because of their sensitivity to these compounds, and the liver was examined because it is a target organ. The soot was suspended in 0.75% methyl cellulose and administered in a single dose by gavage at levels of 1,10,100, and 500mgm soot/kgm body weight. Each dose group was composed of 6 males and 6 females. Control groups included 12 (6 male, 6 female) animals fed activated carbon in methyl cellulose, 6 males fed methyl cellulose, and 16 males and 10 females untreated. The guinea pigs were sacrificed at 42 days by suffocation in CO2. Liver samples were immediately immersed and minced in 2% gluteraldehyde in cacadylate buffer at pH 7.4 and 4°C. After overnight fixation, samples were postfixed in 1% OsO4 in cacodylate for 1 hr at room temperature, embedded in epon, sectioned and stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate.
