''Main Article:'' [[Faber-Evans model]][[File:Katherine Faber Scientist.jpg|thumb|263x263px|Katherine Faber at the 2013 ACS Awards]]Katherine Faber and her PhD advisor, [[Anthony G. Evans]], first introduced a [[Faber-Evans model|materials of mechanics model]] designed to predict the enhancement of fracture toughness in ceramics. This is achieved by accounting for crack deflection around second-phase particles prone to microcracking within a matrix.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Faber |first1=K. T. |last2=Evans |first2=A. G. |date=1983-04-01 |title=Crack deflection processes—I. Theory |url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0001-6160%2883%2990046-9 |journal=Acta Metallurgica |language=en |volume=31 |issue=4 |pages=565–576 |doi=10.1016/0001-6160(83)90046-9 |issn=0001-6160}}</ref> The model considers particle [[Morphology (biology)|morphology]], aspect ratio, spacing, and volume fraction of the second phase. Additionally, it accounts for the decrease in local stress intensity at the crack tip when deflection or bowing of the crack plane occurs. |
|||
''Main Article:'' [[Fracture toughness#Faber model|Fracture toughness]] |
|||
Faber showed that by utilizing imaging techniques, the actual crack tortuosity can be determined, enabling the direct input of deflection and bowing angles into the model. The subsequent rise in fracture toughness is then contrasted with that of a flat crack in a plain matrix. The degree of toughening hinges on the mismatch strain resulting from [[Negative thermal expansion|thermal contraction]] incompatibility and the microfracture resistance at the particle/matrix interface.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Faber |first1=K. T. |last2=Evans |first2=A. G. |date=1983-04-01 |title=Crack deflection processes—II.

|||
Faber's analysis revealed that fracture toughness, regardless of morphology, is primarily determined by the most severe twisting of the crack front rather than its initial inclination. While the initial tilting of the crack front contributes to significant toughening in the case of disc-shaped particles, the twist component remains the dominant factor in enhancing toughness.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Faber |first1=K.T. |last2=Evans |first2=Anthony G. |date=1983 |title=Intergranular Crack-Deflection Toughening in Silicon Carbide |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1151-2916.1983.tb10084.x |journal=Journal of the American Ceramic Society |language=en |volume=66 |issue=6 |pages=C–94–C-95 |doi=10.1111/j.1151-2916.1983.tb10084.x |issn=0002-7820}}</ref> Additionally, she showed that the distribution of inter-particle spacing plays a crucial role in the toughening effect of spherical particles. Specifically, the toughness increases when spheres are in close proximity, causing twist angles to approach π/2. These insights by Faber formed the foundation for designing stronger two-phase ceramic materials. The [[Faber-Evans model]] is widely used by materials scientists to indicate that materials with approximately equiaxial grains can experience a fracture toughness increase of about twice the grain boundary value due to deflection effects.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Liu |first1=Haiyan |last2=Weisskopf |first2=Karl-L. |last3=Petzow |first3=Gunter |date=1989 |title=Crack Deflection Process for Hot-Pressed Whisker-Reinforced Ceramic Composites |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1151-2916.1989.tb06175.x |journal=Journal of the American Ceramic Society |volume=72 |issue=4 |pages=559–563 |doi=10.1111/j.1151-2916.1989.tb06175.x |issn=0002-7820}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Carter |first1=David H. |last2=Hurley |first2=George F. |date=1987 |title=Crack Deflection as a Toughening Mechanism in SiC-Whisker-Reinforced MoSi2 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1151-2916.1987.tb04992.x |journal=Journal of the American Ceramic Society |volume=70 |issue=4 |pages=C–79-C-81 |doi=10.1111/j.1151-2916.1987.tb04992.x |issn=0002-7820}}</ref> |

Biography
Early life and education
Faber was the youngest daughter of an aspiring aeronautical engineer whose education was halted by the Great Depression.[6] As the only one of her siblings who had an interest in the sciences, she was encouraged by her father to pursue an education in engineering. An initial interest in chemistry evolved to an appreciation for ceramic engineering after Faber recognized its potential in solving many engineering problems. Faber eventually obtained her Bachelor of Science in Ceramic Engineering at the New York State College of Ceramics within Alfred University (1975).[2] She completed her Master of Science in Ceramic Science at Penn State University (1978) where she studied phase separation in glasses with Professor Guy Rindone.[2] After graduating with her MS, she worked for a year as a development engineer for The Carborundum Company in Niagara Falls, New York, on the development of silicon carbide for high performance applications such as engines.[7] Following her year in industry, Faber decided to pursue a Ph.D. in Materials Science at the University of California, Berkeley, which she completed in 1982.[2][8]

Work
Forschung
Katherine Faber's research encompasses a diverse range of material science topics, focusing on fracture mechanics, shape memory materials, environmental barrier coatings (EBCs), additive manufacturing, boron nitride composites, and historical ceramics. Her work on shape memory materials investigates the martensitic transformation in zirconia-based ceramics.[14] Utilizing freeze-casting techniques, Faber's research group creates porous zirconia structures exhibiting shape memory behaviors. Through sol-gel synthesis and freeze-casting, she examines stress-induced shape memory and superelastic effects in oligocrystalline zirconia systems, addressing the volume change issue that causes premature cracking in bulk systems.[15]

Faber also explores the durability of environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) in high-temperature applications, such as gas turbine engines.[16] EBCs are essential for protecting ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) from degradation in combustion environments. Her research delves into the damage modes, including oxidation of the bond coat layer and the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients, which lead to cracking and spalling. Faber employs advanced techniques like high-intensity X-rays at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) to measure internal strains, stresses, and damage evolution in EBC systems, aiming to understand the mechanisms and rates of oxidation failure and enhance the lifetime of these coatings.[17]
In collaboration with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Faber works on advancing Hall-effect thrusters by developing a composite material that combines hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphite.[18] The brittle nature of bulk BN poses challenges under dynamic loads, prompting Faber's group to create a layered system where h-BN is grown on graphite through high-temperature carbothermal reduction. This composite material combines the desirable properties of both components, offering thermal emissivity, chemical inertness, and resistance to thermal shock while addressing the issues of oxidation and brittleness in dynamic environments.[19]
Faber's research group also examines historical ceramics, specifically Meissen porcelain, to understand and authenticate Böttger lusterware.[20] Using scientific methods such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and chemical characterization, her group investigates the composition and manufacturing techniques of lusterware. By reverse-engineering these historical artifacts, her research provides insights into the materials and processes used in early 18th-century Meissen factories, contributing to the historical knowledge and preservation of these significant cultural artifacts. Her research interests also include silicon-based ceramics and ceramic matrix composites;[1] polymer-derived multifunctional ceramics;[12] graphite- and silicon carbide-based cellular ceramics synthesized from natural scaffolds, such as pyrolyzed wood;[12] and cultural heritage science,[9] with emphasis on porcelains and jades.[10]
Crack Deflection Model
Main Article: Faber-Evans model
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Katherine_Faber_Scientist.jpg/200px-Katherine_Faber_Scientist.jpg)
Katherine Faber and her PhD advisor, Anthony G. Evans, first introduced a materials of mechanics model designed to predict the enhancement of fracture toughness in ceramics. This is achieved by accounting for crack deflection around second-phase particles prone to microcracking within a matrix.[21] The model considers particle morphology, aspect ratio, spacing, and volume fraction of the second phase. Additionally, it accounts for the decrease in local stress intensity at the crack tip when deflection or bowing of the crack plane occurs.
Faber showed that by utilizing imaging techniques, the actual crack tortuosity can be determined, enabling the direct input of deflection and bowing angles into the model. The subsequent rise in fracture toughness is then contrasted with that of a flat crack in a plain matrix. The degree of toughening hinges on the mismatch strain resulting from thermal contraction incompatibility and the microfracture resistance at the particle/matrix interface.[22] This toughening effect becomes prominent when particles exhibit a narrow size distribution and are suitably sized.
Faber's analysis revealed that fracture toughness, regardless of morphology, is primarily determined by the most severe twisting of the crack front rather than its initial inclination. While the initial tilting of the crack front contributes to significant toughening in the case of disc-shaped particles, the twist component remains the dominant factor in enhancing toughness.[23] Additionally, she showed that the distribution of inter-particle spacing plays a crucial role in the toughening effect of spherical particles. Specifically, the toughness increases when spheres are in close proximity, causing twist angles to approach π/2. These insights by Faber formed the foundation for designing stronger two-phase ceramic materials. The Faber-Evans model is widely used by materials scientists to indicate that materials with approximately equiaxial grains can experience a fracture toughness increase of about twice the grain boundary value due to deflection effects.[24][25]
Initiatives
Faber is the co-founder and co-director of the Northwestern University–Art Institute of Chicago Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts (NU-ACCESS), a collaboration between Northwestern University and the Art Institute of Chicago in which advanced materials characterization and analytical techniques are used to further conservation science for historical artifacts.[2] NU-ACCESS, the first center of its kind, provides opportunities for scientists and scholars from a variety of institutions to make use of the center's facilities to study their collections.[26]
Personal life
Faber is married to condensed matter physicist, and current president of the California Institute of Technology, Thomas F. Rosenbaum.[27] They began their careers at the California Institute of Technology in 2013 after Rosenbaum transitioned from his previous position as the John T. Wilson Distinguished Service Professor of Physics and university provost of The University of Chicago.[28] Together, they have two sons, Daniel and Michael.
