This proceedings volume, "Plastic Deformation of Ceramics,"
constitutes the papers of an international symposium held at
Snowbird, Utah from August 7-12, 1994. It was attended by nearly
100 scientists and engineers from more than a dozen countries
representing academia, national laboratories, and industry. Two
previous conferences on this topic were held at The Pennsylvania
State University in 1974 and 1983. Therefore, the last major
international conference focusing on the deformation of ceramic
materials was held more than a decade ago. Since the early 1980s,
ceramic materials have progressed through an evolutionary period of
development and advancement. They are now under consideration for
applications in engineering structures. The contents of the
previous conferences indicate that considerable effort was directed
towards a basic understanding of deformation processes in
covalently bonded or simple oxide ceramics. However, now, more than
a decade later, the focus has completely shifted. In particular,
the drive for more efficient heat engines has resulted in the
development of silicon-based ceramics and composite ceramics. The
discovery of high-temperature cupric oxide-based superconductors
has created a plethora of interesting perovskite-Iike structured
ceramics. Additionally, nanophase ceramics, ceramic thin films, and
various forms of toughened ceramics have potential applications
and, hence, their deformation has been investigated. Finally, new
and exciting areas of research have attracted interest since 1983,
including fatigue, nanoindentation techniques, and superplasticity.
