Papers by Keyword: Surface/Subsurface Crack Damage

Abstract: Ceramic is prone to engender surface/subsurface crack damage layer because of great grinding force and high brittle. Prediction of crack damage of ground ceramic is important for design and assessment of grinding process. In this paper, an investigation for surface/subsurface crack damage of ground ceramic is introduced. Depth of crack damage layer can predicted by calculating crack propagation balance size and a predicting model of crack damage layer depth is obtained.

Abstract: While be ground, ceramic is prone to engender surface/subsurface crack damage layer because of great grinding force and high brittle of the material. The crack damage layer was investigated in this research. In experiment, it is observed that the surface/subsurface crack damage layer consists of three kinds of cracks: surface micro-cracks, surface macro-cracks and subsurface crack system. To evaluate expediently the degree of damage to the machined components, the index of surface/subsurface crack damage - Dc, is defined.
