Description
Efficient joining materials and characterization techniques are of critical importance for the integration of ceramics in high performance structures.
This talk will overview several issues occurring when measuring the shear strength of joined ceramics and ways to overcome them.
An important topic relevant to the use of joined ceramics and composites to themselves or to other materials is the assessment of the shear strength in a reliable manner.
As it is well known, most lap tests give only an apparent shear strength useful for comparative purposes but unfit to quantify the shear strength of the joint.
The situation can be even more complicated in case of joined ceramics, and the lack of reliable, easy to perform, shear tests may pose limitations in fabricating the desired joined component.
Innovation in joining and their characterization developed within our research group (www.composites.polito.it) will be summarized, together with a brief overview on J-TECH@PoliTO, Advanced Joining Technology research center at Politecnico di Torino (http://www.j-tech.polito.it/).
