Analysis of Thermal Stresses in a Ceramic-Metal Joint with Thermal Expansion Mismatch (IV) - having an interlayer of functional gradient materials

Abstract

In this paper, we apply our theory hitherto developed to a ceramic-metal joint with an interlayer of functional gradient materials. Thermal stress occuring in the ceramic part of the joint is discussed as a function of the layer thickness. The effect of the layer is found remarkable to diminish thermal stresses, when it is sufficiently thick. © 1990, Japan Society of Powder and Powder Metallurgy. All rights reserved.
