Abstract
A non-contact method of characterizing the isostatic strength of a ceramic member or article includes capturing a digital image of the ceramic article, and then forming a two-dimensional representation of the ceramic article and the web therein based on the captured digital image. The method also includes performing finite-element analysis on the two-dimensional representation of the ceramic article using a select amount of simulated isostatic pressure to determine a maximum stress value within the two-dimensional representation of the web. The method further includes using the maximum stress value to characterize the isostatic strength of the ceramic article.
