Abstract

Experimental and theoretical investigation of fracture in the borosilicate glass/Al O platelets 2 3 composite was performed. This composite is a perspective structural material for many applications due to its low production expenses and satisfactory properties even at elevated temperatures. The fractographical analy- sis was employed to reveal vitality of toughening mechanism with increasing content of reinforcement. Possi- ble synergy between crack deflection and other toughening mechanisms was examined.
