“Keramikblech” is an OCMC material, which unites the theoretical reflections of fiber-reinforced composites. It is the function of those fibers to keep the monolithic ceramic matrices together, which are porous and have a lot of micro cracks. The force will be diverted at the matrix-fiber interface. This means that structures, whose outermost matrix layer will be destroyed, can work further at lower mechanical load. Energy absorbing mechanisms like fiber pullout and crack diversion are responsible for this effect. This have a positive influence on damage tolerance and thermal shock resistance.
Recapitulating, the following properties are characteristic of “Keramikblech”:
