This book discusses the mechanical properties of ceramics and aims
to provide both a solid background for undergraduate students, as
well as serving as a text to bring practicing engineers up to date
with the latest developments in this topic so they can use and
apply these to their actual engineering work. Generally, ceramics
are made by moistening a mixture of clays, casting it into desired
shapes and then firing it to a high temperature, a process known as
'vitrification'. The relatively late development of metallurgy was
contingent on the availability of ceramics and the know-how to mold
them into the appropriate forms. Because of the characteristics of
ceramics, they offer great advantages over metals in specific
applications in which hardness, wear resistance and chemical
stability at high temperatures are essential. Clearly, modern
ceramics manufacturing has come a long way from the early
clay-processing fabrication method, and the last two decades have
seen the development of sophisticated techniques to produce a large
variety of ceramic material. The chapters of this volume are
ordered to help students with their laboratory experiments and
guide their observations in parallel with lectures based on the
current text. Thus, the first chapter is devoted to mechanical
testing. A chapter of ductile and superplastic ceramic is added to
emphasize their role in modern ceramics (chapter 2). These are
followed by the theoretical basis of the subject. Various aspects
of the mechanical properties are discussed in the following
chapters, among them, strengthening mechanisms, time dependent and
cyclic deformation of ceramics. Many practical illustrations are
provided representing various observations encountered in actual
ceramic-structures of particularly technical significance. A
comprehensive list of references at the end of each chapter is
included in this textbook to provide a broad basis for further
studying the subject. The work also contains a unique chapter on a
topic not discussed in other textbooks on ceramics concerning
nanosized ceramics. This work will also be useful as a reference
for materials scientists, not only to those who specialize in
ceramics.
