The critical intensity factor K,, of a single crystal alumina (1100)-plane in air and in a simulated body environment was measured. Based on these measurements, the esti- mated durability of a single crystal alumina disk in a ceramic heart valve was determined. Standard single-edge notched beam spec

## Abstract Fracture toughness and modulus of rupture tests have been carried out on three aluminas, which differed in composition and microstructure, in a variety of environments (air, deionized water, albumen/salt solution, Ringer's solution, and fresh human plasma). Generally tests in liquid env
This work aims to develop a method for predicting the displacement and failure of the Head Actuator Assembly (HAA) during a drop test. When a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is dropped from a certain height, it will accelerate due to gravity until it hits the ground with a certain speed, and the head suspensi
Details are given of a study to obtain experimental data in an idealized environment for the purpose of evaluating the corresponding computational predictions and which supplement parallel measurements made in actual packaged air-conditioning units. The system consisted of a purpose-built low-speed
The detrimental effect which hydrogen produces in metals, generally known as hydrogen embrittlement (HE), has always been one of the central problems of practical material technology of corrosion and protection of metals. In the present research, the influence of simulated heat affected zone (HAZ) h
