Abstract
Ceramics are widely utilized to provide thermal and electrical insulation and are becoming significant structural
materials in engineering industry. Researcher has reported on number of problems, such as surface deformation that
resulted in crack propagation on the materials' surface under temperature loading. Hitherto, there is dearth of information
on the establishment of a compressive stress field, which stops further crack propagation as one of the mechanisms of phase
change. An advanced multistep multidimensional computational model was created on the commercially available Ansys
finite-element platform to examine the thermomechanical properties of a few selected ceramic materials (alumina, silicon
carbide, and chromium carbide) through surface respond.
