An introduction to the mechanical properties of ceramics

Cambridge Solid State Science

by David J. Green

Ceramic materials are finding use in a myriad of new applications as scientists design these materials with new structures and properties. Some of these new applications are structural and it is essential to understand the factors that control the mechanical behavior. Non-structural applications are also being developed. In both cases, it is necessary to design mechanically reliable materials. This book introduces the reader to the essential and curr ent concepts in the field, as a learning text for students and as a useful reference source for practicing engineers.
