Compression testing of ceramicsThe techniques for determining the compressive strengths of the rapidly developing family of super-strong, but brittle, materials is considered. The uniaxial column compression test is discussed, taking into account the loading block size mismatch, the loading block compliance mismatch, the load transmitting surfaces, and the eccentricity of loading. A description of the uniaxial hollow cylinder compression test is also provided, giving attention to premature failure from compliance tube splitting, stresses from compliance mismatch of the loading block, and premature failure from local rotations. The ring compression test is considered along with the hollow cylinder biaxial compression test.
