Abstract : Ceramic materials are widely used in most of the industries due to their outstanding mechanical properties like high strength, high modulus of elasticity, corrosion resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, etc. It is therefore vital to understand the deformation and fracture of ceramics to take preventive measures to circumvent catastrophic failure. The deformation process and fracture of ceramics can be understood through fracture mechanics of brittle materials. In the first part of this work, an overview of the fracture mechanics and the various approaches employed to predict the failures of isotropic and homogeneous materials is briefly presented. Following this, a brief overview of the numerical methods used to estimate fracture parameters to analyze the failure of ceramic materials is discussed. Estimation of stress intensity factor of a typical ceramic material used in industry through numerical simulation and the associated result is presented in this work.
