Beschreibung

A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory and Practical Applications of Ceramic Materials
When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often catastrophic, instantaneous, and total. Now in its Second Edition , this important book arms readers with a thorough and accurate understanding of the causes of these failures and how to design ceramics for failure avoidance. It systematically covers:

Stress and strain

Types of mechanical behavior

Strength of defect-free solids

Linear elastic fracture mechanics

Measurements of elasticity, strength, and fracture toughness

Subcritical crack propagation

Toughening mechanisms in ceramics

Effects of microstructure on toughness and strength

Cyclic fatigue of ceramics

Thermal stress and thermal shock in ceramics

Fractography

Dislocation and plastic deformation in ceramics

Creep and superplasticity of ceramics

Creep rupture at high temperatures and safe life design

Hardness and wear

And more

While maintaining the first edition s reputation for being an indispensable professional resource, this new edition has been updated with sketches, explanations, figures, tables, summaries, and problem sets to make it more student-friendly as a textbook in undergraduate and graduate courses on the mechanical properties of ceramics.

Autor

John B. Wachtman, PHD, was Sosman Professor of Ceramics at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Since he received his degree from the University of Maryland in 1961, he has worked as a research scientist, division chief, and director of the Center for Materials Research at the National Bureau of Standards. Dr. Wachtman is the author of several books and holds many awards, honors, and offices in various scientific societies. W. Roger Cannon, PHD, is Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers University. He was previously on the research staff of MIT's Ceramic Processing Laboratory after receiving his PhD from Stanford University. His interests include mechanical properties, especially creep, sintering, and tape casting. M. John Matthewson, PHD, is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers University. His research interests include the mechanical properties and reliability of materials and, in particular, of optical fiber and fiber components. He also works on computational modeling of various materials-related issues, including processing, sintering, and lifetime calculations.
