    • An Investigation of Thermal Shock in Porous Clay Ceramics 

      Nyongesa, FW; Rahbar, N; Obwoya, SK; Zimba, J; Aduda, Bernard O; Soboyejo, WO (School of Physical Sciences, 2011)
      The thermal shock resistance of porous ceramic materials is often characterized by the Hasselman parameters. However, in other scenarios,the room-temperature residual strengths after thermal shock are also used to quantify ...

    • Thermal Shock Resistance of a Kyanite-Based (Aluminosilicate) Ceramic 

      Rahbar, N; Aduda,BO; Zimba, J; Obwoya, SK; Nyongesa, FW; Yakub, I; Soboyejo, WO (Society for Experimental MechanicsSchool of Physical Sciences, 2010)
      This paper presents the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of microstructure and thermal shock resistance of an aluminosilicate ceramic. Shock-induced crack growth is studied in sintered ...
