In a research lab where ceramics are heat treated for further application, you are presented with two unlabelled specimens (A, B) of bio-ceramics and told that they have the same basic chemical composition, but one has been sintered properly and the other has not been sintered at all. Sample A has larger pore size, and somewhat smaller grains than Sample B. If all ceramics have to be heat treated, which of the specimens need to go into the furnace? Select one: a. Sample A to go into furnace O b. Neither Sample A nor B to go into the furnace O c. Both Samples A and B to go into the furnace Od. Sample B to go into furnace

You are called as an expert witness to analyze the fracture of a sintered silicon carbide plate that was fractured in bending when a blunt load was applied to the plate center. Measurement of the distance between the fracture origin and the mirror/mist boundary on the fracture surface gives a radius of 0.796 mm. You are given three pieces of the same SiC to test, and you determine that the mirror radius is 0.603, 0.203, and 0.162 mm for bending failure stress levels of 225, 368, and 442 MPa, respectively. What is your estimate of the stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate?

When a failure data set for a ceramic material processed in a certain facility is analyzed, it is found that the characteristic strength is 327 MPa and the Weibull modulus is 8.75. A nominally identical batch of material processed in a different facility is also tested and found to have essentially the same characteristic strength, but the Weibull modulus is 6.25. At what stress level is the probability of failure equal to 50% for each set of material? What initial conclusion might you draw about the quality control procedures at the two facilities?
