The theoretical failure strength of high-purity and fully-dense aluminum oxide (Al2O3, alumina) can be up to 4 GPa !
In other words, a pristine alumina sample is expected to support this stress, even in tension, since no stress magnifying flaws would be present.
Think about that for a second ... most metals yield (bend permanently) at stress levels on the order of 0.1 - 0.5 GPa ... and this is considered their upper limit for structural use.
Ceramics like alumina have such high bond strengths that they can theoretically be stretched in tension, elastically, to much higher stresses ... 4 GPa in this case.
Unfortunately, most ceramic specimens rarely exhibit their theoretical strength value due to microscopic flaws that are inevitably present in specimens that have been handled, transported, etc.
For an alumina specimen, what is the minimum stress at which failure is expected to occur, in MPa, if it features an elliptical surface scratch whose length is 2.43 mm and whose tip radius is 190 nm ?

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
