Ceramics

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the mechanical properties of ceramic materials, this book explores their advantages, such as high temperature strength and wear resistance, alongside their brittleness and variability in performance. It delves into failure phenomena under mechanical loading, methods for assessing material properties, and guidelines for material selection. Key topics include fracture mechanics, statistical principles related to strength variability, creep behavior, multiaxial failure criteria, and thermal shock behavior, providing a comprehensive understanding of ceramics in engineering applications.
