FE-Simulation (FEA) for the Designing of Ceramic/Metal Assemblies – the End of Trial and Error?

With the FEA as a part of the integrative design process it is possible to precisely calculate the stresses, which are induced in ceramic components during the assembly or operation. By using postprocessors short-term and also long-term fracture probabilities can be calculated. The precision of the results depends highly on the used input data and the introduced model simplifications.
