The high strength of ceramic materials scatters with the distribution of natural defects and design limits are often far beyond experimentally determined values . This issue can be resolved by controlled defect generation in laminates, leading to composites that are as strong as monolithic ceramics but significantly more reliable and damage tolerant.
