Abstract: Based on the data obtained by the strength test of simply supported Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) plate, the calculation method of simply supported RPC plate is studied and the method is proved to be feasible. In addition, based on the analysis of the steel fiber in the simply supported RPC plate, some suggestions, which can improve the flexural strength of simply supported RPC plate, are proposed。

Abstract: This paper presents on the cracking mechanisms of fiber-eutectics and transformation particles composite ceramic. First, supposing that the tensile stress among fiber eutectics is transmitted by means of shear stress along the interfaces of fiber eutectics, based on fiber eutectics having lengths smaller than the critical length, the force acting along the fiber eutectic can be determined by the shear stress. Then, the probability of ending fiber eutectics and bridging fiber eutectics can be gotten by defining a critical district. Finally, according to the random orientations and the lengths of the fiber eutectics, composite ceramics will crack by slip incompatibility among bridging fiber eutectics. The cracking stress of the composite ceramics is built.

Abstract: Recent experiment showed that nano-fibers composite ceramics, fabricated through SHS process, could acquire high toughening and strengthening. Composite ceramics are mainly composed of fiber eutectic with random orientation, in which nanometer sized zirconia fibers are dispersed within the alumina matrix. First, it can be visualized that tensile force is transmitted from the matrix to the nano-fiber by means of shear stress that develop along the fiber- matrix interface. Then the shear stress on the surface of the fiber eutectic is obtained. It related to the volume fraction and slenderness ratio of the nano-fibers, and external strain of the fiber eutectic. The maximum shear stress is at the ends of the fiber eutectic perpendicular to applied tensile stress. As maximum shear stress on the surface of the fiber eutectic is equal to the critical shear stress, the composite ceramics would crack. So the applied tensile stress on composite ceramics arousing the surface crack of the fiber eutectic is gotten.
