Mechanical Properties of Ceramics by John B. Wachtman (PDF)

Description

A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory and Practical Applications of Ceramic Materials When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often catastrophic, instantaneous, and total. Now in its Second Edition, this important book arms readers with a thorough and accurate understanding of the causes of these failures and how to design ceramics for failure avoidance. It systematically covers:Stress and strainTypes of mechanical behaviorStrength of defect-free solidsLinear elastic fracture mechanicsMeasurements of elasticity, strength, and fracture toughnessSubcritical crack propagationToughening mechanisms in ceramicsEffects of microstructure on toughness and strengthCyclic fatigue of ceramicsThermal stress and thermal shock in ceramicsFractographyDislocation and plastic deformation in ceramicsCreep and superplasticity of ceramicsCreep rupture at high temperatures and safe life designHardness and wearAnd moreWhile maintaining the first edition’s reputation for being an indispensable professional resource, this new edition has been updated with sketches, explanations, figures, tables, summaries, and problem sets to make it more student-friendly as a textbook in undergraduate and graduate courses on the mechanical properties of ceramics.

About the Author John B. Wachtman, PHD, was Sosman Professor of Ceramics at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Since he received his degree from the University of Maryland in 1961, he has worked as a research scientist, division chief, and director of the Center for Materials Research at the National Bureau of Standards. Dr. Wachtman is the author of several books and holds many awards, honors, and offices in various scientific societies. W. Roger Cannon, PHD, is Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers University. He was previously on the research staff of MIT’s Ceramic Processing Laboratory after receiving his PhD from Stanford University. His interests include mechanical properties, especially creep, sintering, and tape casting.M. John Matthewson, PHD, is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers University. His research interests include the mechanical properties and reliability of materials and, in particular, of optical fiber and fiber components. He also works on computational modeling of various materials-related issues, including processing, sintering, and lifetime calculations. Read more
