In my last column, I discussed uniaxial flexural strength testing of fiber-reinforced ceramics, that is, simple three- or four-point bending of a strip of material of rectangular cross section (see ...

SHANGHAI, Sept. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Guinness World Records™ has officially awarded dentitude Pro, a next-generation dental glass-ceramic, the title of “Highest Three-Point Bending Flexural ...

It was concluded that the optimal parameters for preparing glass-ceramics with a flexural strength of as much as 102.2 MPa were a nucleation temperature of 750 °C for two and a half hours and a ...

The term "high-performance ceramics" refers to a variety of often highly-specialized ceramic materials. These materials demonstrate a unique spectrum of mechanical, electrical, thermal and ...

The major attraction of structural ceramics has always been the capability of operating at temperatures far above those of metals. Structural applications now include engine components, cutting tools, ...

Because of their brittle nature, ceramics, fiber-reinforced or unreinforced, are difficult to test in pure tension, compression and shear, primarily due to difficulties in gripping and uniformly ...
