• closedAccess   Modeling microstructural damage of silicate-based ceramics and its influence on macroscopic fracture strength 

      Gilabert Villegas, Francisco A.; Cantavella Soler, Vicente; Dal Bó, Marcelo; Sánchez-Vilches, Enrique Elsevier (2014-05-15)
      The aim of this work is to clarify the influence of quartz inclusions added to a vitreous matrix on the macroscopic fracture toughness (KICKIC). We use numerical simulations to model a silicate-based ceramic material as a ...
    • openAccess   Non-isothermal sintering of powdered vitrified composites. A kinetic model 

      José Luis, Amorós Albaro; Blasco Roca, Encarna; Moreno Berto, Arnaldo Vicente; Zumaquero, Eulalia; Feliu Mingarro, Carlos Elsevier (2019)
      This report sets out the results obtained on studying the sintering process of glass–zircon composites, analysing the microstructural changes that developed on modifying zircon content. The sintering of composites with ...
