Description:... The aim of this book is to make an important contribution to the development of new functional and structural ceramic materials which exhibit enhanced performances and have improved lifetimes and reliability, by fostering a better understanding of the mechanisms of their deterioration and failure 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; damage mechanisms in nanoceramics; Fracture and fractography of multilayered ceramics and coatings; machining cracks and edge-chipping; and the fracture and fractography of composites and nanocomposites.
