A comprehensive graduate textbook on the mechanical properties of ceramics.
A comprehensive introduction to the mechanical properties of ceramics, designed primarily as a textbook for graduate students in materials science and engineering. Also of value to industrial scientists and engineers involved in the development of ceramic-based products, materials selection and mechanical design.This book is a comprehensive introduction to the mechanical properties of ceramics, and is designed primarily as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and engineering. Over the past 25 years ceramics have become key materials in the development of many new technologies as scientists have been able to design these materials with new structures and properties. An understanding of the factors that influence their mechanical behavior and reliability is essential. This book will introduce the reader to current concepts in the field. It contains problems and exercises to help readers develop their skills. Although designed principally as a textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this book will also be of value as a supplementary text for more general courses and to industrial scientists and engineers involved in the development of ceramic-based products, materials selection and mechanical design.
' … this book provides a good introduction to the mechanical properties of both ceramics and glasses …' Russell J. Hand, Chemistry in Britain
