Title: Mechanical Properties of Ceramics and Composites
First published: May 15, 2000
Description: This book provides a comprehensive review, evaluation, and summary of the dependence of mechanical properties on grain and particle parameters of size, shape, and orientation for monolithic ceramics and ceramic composites.Emphasizes the critical link between fabrication and ceramic performance!Including over 1950 references, equations, photographs, tables, and drawings, Mechanical Properties of Ceramics and Compositescovers relevant models, reviews data, and identifies strengths and weaknesses in eachdiscusses fracture energy and toughness values, crack propagation, tensile strength, and thermal shockgauges compressive strength, hardness, erosion, and wear evaluates high-tech ceramics, porcelains, and crystallized glassesanalyzes whisker, platelet, and particulate ceramic compositesfocuses on lower and moderate temperature testing conditions, while outlining high temperature creep and stress rupturedemonstrates and documents cross correlations, differences, and variations in the microstructural dependence of propertiesand more!Providing a complete overview of the range, capability, and tailorability of ceramic properties,  Mechanical Properties of Ceramics and Composites is ideal for ceramic, materials, electrical, automotive, mechanical, and chemical engineers and scientists; metallurgists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
