Spark plasma sintering (SPS) was employed to consolidate powder specimens consisting of
B 4 C and various B 4 C-TiB 2 compositions. SPS allowed for consolidation of pure B 4 C, B …

This paper explores microstructural and mechanical variability in porous ceramics,
combining advanced X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and digital image correlation (DIC) …

It is well documented that the hot-pressing procedures used for many strategic ceramics may
introduce microstructural texturing that can lead to anisotropic mechanical properties …

Tensile specimens with three different gage dimensions were used to determine the tensile
strength of a hot-pressed boron carbide. The strength-limiting flaw population and …

Commercially available boron carbide ceramics typically have heterogeneous
microstructures that contain distributions of processing‐induced inclusions. The inclusions …

A crucial criterion for the quality of the additively manufactured parts is the porosity content
for achieving an acceptable final relative density. In addition, for jewelry applications, visible …

This paper follows a historical background on requirements‐based strategic armor research,
leading to the materials in extreme dynamic environments program presented in Part I, now …

This work presents ANOVA and Tukey's statistic tests that were conducted in Knoop
microhardness results of boron carbide sintered samples. Three samples, A, B, and C, of …

Homemade micro-CT equipment has been successfully developed in the Physics
Laboratory of Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES). The micro-CT was tested and could …

In this thesis we study three types of non-equilibrium processes: the depinning of elastic
interfaces, the yielding of sheared disordered solids, and the fracture and granular flow of …
