Toughening Analysis for Eutectic Composite Ceramic Containing Lamellae

On basis of the residual-stress-field of the composite ceramic, the frictional force on the boundary of the lamellae can be computed. Then the frictional work is determined. The pull-out toughening mechanism is gotten. The result shows that the toughening value is dependent on the size of lamellae: the pull-out toughening value will increase as the thickness of the lamellae increase.
