Mechanical Testing Methodology for Ceramic Design and Reliability

This timely resource offers complete, single-source coverage of ceramic mechanical property measurement techniques for use in component design as well as lifetime and reliability predictions-describing the theoretical aspects of chemistry and microstructure that affect mechanical properties.
Presenting procedures for both room-and elevated-temperature applications, Mechanical Testing Methodology for Ceramic Design and Reliability discusses tests for strength, creep and creep rupture, fracture toughness, and fatigue....the effects of environment on fracture and creep procsses.....mechanisms of failure....statistical experimental design and analysis....standardisation and the limitations of specific testing methods....and more

With over 1200 bibliographic citations, equations, drawings, and tables, Mechanical Testing Methodology for Ceramic, materials, mechanical, design, manufacturing, quality, and reliability engineers; ceramists; ceramic and materials scientists
