Abstract
Ceramics exhibit specific properties which preclude the use of conventional design methodology. The strength of ceramics is a statistical quantity. In addition to classical design concepts it is most appropriate to include the probabilistic design concepts. Thus, a top priority must be placed on the development of an appropriate design methodology for ceramic engineering components. The design of reliable ceramic components and design methodology is essential to the introduction and further use of structural ceramics, advanced ceramics and composites on the market.
