Salem J., Fuller E.R. (Eds.) Corrosion, Wear, Fatigue, and Reliability of Ceramics

Wiley-American Ceramic Society, 2009. — 202 p. — ISBN: 0470344938This volume provides a one-stop resource, compiling current research on the behavior and reliability of ceramic macro and micro scale systems. Topics include Design and Testing Challenges for Ceramic Joints; Structural Design, Testing and Life Prediction of Monolithic and Composite Components; Mechanical Behavior, Design, and Reliability of Small Scale Systems; Environmental Effects on Mechanical Properties; and more. This is a valuable reference for researchers in ceramics engineering.
This volume contains papers presented in the Mechanical Behavior and Structural Design of Monolithic and Composite Ceramics symposium of the 32nd International Conference & Exposition on Advanced Ceramics & Composites held on January 27-February 1,2008 at Daytona Beach, Florida.
This long-standing symposium received presentations on a wide variety of topics providing the opportunity for researchers in different areas of related fields to interact. This volume emphasizes some practical aspects of real-world engineering applications of ceramics such as corrosion, fatigue, wear, reliability analysis, and fractography as associated with systems ranging from thermoelectric devices to solid oxide fuel cells.
The papers from the symposium represented research from 20 countries and demonstrate the worldwide interest in the properties and design of ceramic materials and components. The organization of the symposium and the publication of this proceeding were possible thanks to the professional staff of The American Ceramic Society and the tireless dedication of many Engineering Ceramics Division members. We would especially like to express our sincere thanks to the symposia organizers, session chairs, presenters and conference attendees, for their efforts and enthusiastic participation in the vibrant and cutting-edge symposium.Corrosion.
