Abstract

Deformation and failure behaviour of ceramics at very high temperatures is predominantly governed by creep effects. In the case of noticeable creep, creep-induced deformation itself may lead to a design limit if the function of a component is affected by an excessive global deformation. Creep rupture consists in the formation and extension of creep cracks.
