Ceramic has many holes in its surface, it is not
really solid. When a force is applied on a ceramic material, on bending,
its top surface become concave due to compression stress while the bottom
surface of the material is stretched. At point where compression is maximum on
top, in the meanwhile at the same point, at the lower bottom surface, tension
is maximum and from that point, material shatter.
