A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory andPractical Applications of Ceramic Materials
When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is oftencatastrophic, instantaneous, and total. Now in its SecondEdition, this important book arms readers with a thorough andaccurate understanding of the causes of these failures and how todesign ceramics for failure avoidance. It systematicallycovers:
* 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 anindispensable professional resource, this new edition has beenupdated with sketches, explanations, figures, tables, summaries,and problem sets to make it more student-friendly as a textbook inundergraduate and graduate courses on the mechanical properties ofceramics.

Über Autor(innen)

John B. Wachtman, PHD, was Sosman Professor of Ceramics atRutgers University in New Jersey. Since he received his degree fromthe University of Maryland in 1961, he has worked as a researchscientist, division chief, and director of the Center for MaterialsResearch at the National Bureau of Standards. Dr. Wachtman is theauthor of several books and holds many awards, honors, and officesin various scientific societies.
W. Roger Cannon, PHD, is Professor Emeritus of MaterialsScience and Engineering at Rutgers University. He was previously onthe research staff of MIT's Ceramic Processing Laboratory afterreceiving his PhD from Stanford University. His interests includemechanical properties, especially creep, sintering, and tapecasting.
M. John Matthewson, PHD, is Professor of MaterialsScience and Engineering at Rutgers University. His researchinterests include the mechanical properties and reliability ofmaterials and, in particular, of optical fiber and fibercomponents. He also works on computational modeling of variousmaterials-related issues, including processing, sintering, andlifetime calculations.
