Double-tough ceramics: Optimization-supported multiscale computational design
Jian Zhang, Francesco Aiello, Mauro Salazar +1
To overcome the brittleness limitation of ceramics, various toughening mechanisms have been proposed. Some of the most remarkable, especially for oxides, include the tetragonal-to-…

Double-tough and ultra-strong ceramics: leveraging multiscale toughening mechanisms through Bayesian Optimization
Francesco Aiello, Jian Zhang, Johannes C. Brouwer +2
We present an optimization-driven approach to creating a double-tough ceramic material with a brick-and-mortar microstructure, where the mortar is itself transformation-toughened,…
