| Description: | The aim of this book is to contribute to the development of new functional and structural ceramic materials, exhibiting enhanced performances and having improved lifetimes and reliability, by fostering a better understanding of their deterioration and failure mechanisms under various stress conditions and at various operating temperatures. The publication covers the topics of basic failure phenomena; indentation fracture; fracture and fractography of structural, electro- and bio- ceramics; fracture of fiber-reinforced composites; fracture of porous and laminated ceramics; defect - strength and microstructure - fracture toughness relationships; and damage mechanisms in nanoceramics. Overall, the book reflects the current state of knowledge with respect to the fractography of advanced ceramics. The uses of these materials range from the insulating tiles for the Space Shuttle, to lightweight automobile engine components, thermistors, varistors, knee prostheses and ceramic hip joints. During the past two decades, fractography has been intensively used for the characterization and understanding of the degradation mechanisms of advanced ceramics, and promises to be even more important in the future. |
