An Introduction to the Mechanical

Properties of Ceramics

This book is a comprehensive introduction to the mechanical properties of

ceramics, and is designed primarily as a textbook for undergraduate and

graduate students in materials science and engineering.

Over the past 25 years ceramics have become key materials in the develop-

ment of many new technologies as scientists have been able to design these

materials with new structures and properties. An understanding of the factors

that influence their mechanical behavior and reliability is essential. Some of

these new applications are structural, and for these it is important to under-

stand the factors that control their mechanical behavior. Non-structural

applications are also being developed, but in each case it is necessary to design

mechanically reliable materials. This is a particular challenge for materials

that are inherently brittle. This book will introduce the reader to current con-

cepts in the field. It contains problems and exercises to help readers develop

their skills.

Although designed principally as a textbook for advanced undergraduates

and graduate students, this book will also be of value as a supplementary text

for more general courses and to industrial scientists and engineers involved in

the development of ceramic-based products, materials selection and mechan-

ical design.
