Simulation of Nanocomposites in Ultra-High-Temperature Ceramics

Caption

As tensile stress is applied across the ends of the nanocomposites, failure locations are visitable at the particle-matrix interaction and across the grain boundaries. This images confirms why presence of nanoparticle did not give any enhancement in strength.
