Abstract BaTiO 3 (BT), 0.5 Ba (Zr 0. 2 Ti 0.8) O 3-0.5 (Ba 0. 7 Ca 0.3) TiO 3 (BZT-BCT), 85.4
(Bi 0. 5 Na 0.5) TiO 3-2.6 (BaTiO 3)-12 (Bi 0. 5 K 0.5) TiO 3 (BNT-BT-BKT) lead free …

In this paper, the effect of rare-earth dopants (RE: Ce, Eu, Tb, Dy, and Er) in barium titanate
(BT) on the shaping, sintering and microstructure was studied aimed mainly at selecting …

The paper describes the preparation of laminate piezo-ceramic composite consisting of Al 2
O 3, ZrO 2 and BaTiO 3 layers and proves the idea of residual stresses utilization for crack …

Stress concentration at a crack tip generates a solid structural transformation in its vicinity,
the process zone. We argue that its formation represents a local phase transition described …

We demonstrate that internal dynamics within the transformational process zone at the tip of
a propagating crack gives rise to energy dissipation. It manifests itself as a velocity …

Agglomeration is the main problem that prevents large-scale implementation of
nanodiamonds in the production of composites. Mechanical alloying was applied for …

Niobium (Nb) and Cobalt (Co) co-doped barium titanate ceramics were prepared to stabilize
ferroelectric-tetragonal phase transformation of barium titanate. Preparation of ceramics …

A novel technique of producing composite electrochemical coatings with non-agglomerated
nanodiamond reinforcing particles uniformly distributed in the matrix was developed. The …

Process zone at the tip of a propagating crack engendered by the stress-induced local
phase transition of the second order is studied theoretically. We show that the zone can only …
