    Ceramics Effects
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the effects of acceleration on ceramic products, highlighting their brittleness and susceptibility to damage from impact loading. Ceramics are generally rated as rate-independent but can fail dramatically under high-speed or high-rate events, producing a distinctive sound upon failure. The conversation humorously speculates about the sound of ceramics failing at high rotational speeds, comparing it to the noise of parts cutting through the air and the potential reaction of individuals nearby.

can anyone tell me what ll be the effect change of acceleration on ceramic products...

I don't know what you're getting at here, but ceramics are often rather brittle, thus making them prone to damage from impact loading.
 
... yeah, and as such property wise typically rate - independent but can react 'violently' to impact etc. highspeed/highrate events.
 
Ceramics tend to make this really cool "PPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT" sound when they fail at high rotational speeds.

Would that be the sound of the parts cutting through the air as they go past your ears :eek:

More likely to be the sound of your pants quickly being filled...
 
and that as well :smile:
