Abstract : Ceramics are widely utilized to provide thermal and electrical insulation and are becoming significant structural materials in engineering industry. Researcher has reported on number of problems, such as surface deformation that resulted in crack propagation on the materials' surface under temperature loading. Hitherto, there is dearth of information on the establishment of a compressive stress field, which stops further crack propagation as one of the mechanisms of phase change. An advanced multistep multidimensional computational model was created on the commercially available Ansys finite-element platform to examine the thermomechanical properties of a few selected ceramic materials (alumina, silicon carbide, and chromium carbide) through surface respond.

Keywords : Ceramic Materials, Alumina, Silicon Carbide, Chromium Carbide
