This 1979 book presents the scientific foundations of mechanical behaviour and demonstrates how these can be used in engineering situations in relation to ceram

A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory and Practical Applications of Ceramic Materials When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often

The book gives a description of the failure phenomena of ceramic materials under mechanical loading, the methods to determine their properties, and the principl

How do engineering materials deform when bearing mechanical loads? To answer this crucial question, the book bridges the gap between continuum mechanics and mat

Over the past twenty-five years ceramics have become key materials in the development of many new technologies as scientists have been able to design these mate
