Deformation and failure of reinforced porcelain tableware: impact and compressive test

Abstract

The reasons for the change in the mechanical strength of porcelain tableware measured by the impact test with the restraint conditions are discussed. The compressive test was performed on various restraint conditions to investigate the relation between the deformation and the destructive load of tableware. The failure impact energy increased up to 62% by the restraint condition. As the result of the compressive test, it was observed that the angle of backstop affected the deformation of the tableware and the restraint weight changed the destructive load.
