These volumes, 3 and 4, of Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics con
stitute the proceedings of an international symposium on the frac
ture mechanics of ceramics held at the Pennsylvania State Univer
sity, University Park, PA on July 27, 28, and 29, 1977. Volumes 1
and 2 were published previously as the proceedings of a sympo sium
of the same name held July 11, 12, and 13, 1973, also at Penn
State. All four volumes published to date concentrate on the
fracture aspects of the mechanical behavior of brittle ceramics in
terms of the characteristics of cracks. The program chairmen
gratefully acknowledge the financial as sistance for the symposium
provided by the Office of Naval Re search, the Energy Research and
Development Administration, and the Army Research Office. Without
their support the quality and mag nitude of this conference simply
would not have been possible. Numerous individuals contributed to
the success of the con ference, but unfortunately they cannot all
be listed here. However the program chairmen would especially like
to recognize the contri butions of Penn State Conference
Coordinator, Mr. Ronald Avillion, whose expertise in planning and
organization was indispensable; Dr. Fred R. Matson for his
interesting after dinner speech; and Drs. A. M. Diness, J. C. Hurt,
and D. W. Readey for their en couragement and valuable suggestions
regarding the program. Finally, we wish to also thank our joint
secretaries for the patience and help in bringing these proceedings
to press."

These volumes constitute the Proceedings of a Symposium ort the
Fracture Mechanics of Cerarnics, held at the Pennsylvania State
University, University Park, Pennsylvania, July 11, 12, and 13,
1973. The theme of the symposium focussed on the mechanical
behavior of brittle cerarnics in terms of the characteristics of
cracks. The 52 contributed papers by 87 authors, present an
overview of the cur rent understanding of the theory and
application of fracture mechan ics to brittle cerarnics. The
prograrn chairmen gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance
for the Symposium provided by the Office of Naval Re search, the
College of Earth and Mineral Sciences of the Pennsyl vania State
University, the Materials Research Center of Lehigh University,
Bethlehem, Pennsylvana and Westinghouse Research Laboratories,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Special appreciation is extended to the
expert organization provided by the J. Orvis Keller Conference
Center of the Pennsyl vania State Conference Center of the
Pennsylvania State University. In particular, Mrs. Patricia Ewing
should be acknowledged for the excellent prograrn organization and
planning. Dean Harold J. O'Brien, who was featured as the
after-dinner speaker and who presented a most stimulating talk on
the cornrnunication between people, also contrib uted to the
success of the meeting. Finally, we also wish to thank our joint
secretaries for the patience and help in bringing these Proceedings
to press. University Park R. C. Bradt Bethlehem D. P. H. Hasseiman

These volumes, 7 and 8, of Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics
constitute the proceedings of an international symposium on the
fracture mechanics of ceramic materials held at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia on
June 19, 20 and 21, 1985. These proceedings constitute the fourth
pair of volumes of a continuing series of conferences. The theme of
this conference, as the previous three, focused on the mechanical
behavior of ceramic materials in terms of the characteristics of
cracks, particularly the roles which they assume in the fracture
process. The 78 contributed papers by over 100 authors and
co-authors represent the current state of the field. They address
many of the theoretical and practical problems of interest to those
concerned with brittle fracture. The program chairmen gratefully
acknowledge the financial assistance for the Symposium provided by
the EXXON Foundation, the Army Research Office, the National
Science Foundation, and the Office of Naval Research. Without their
support, this conference simply would not have been possible. The
suggestions of Drs. J. C. Hurt, R. C. Pohanka, and L. Toth were
particularly helpful in assuring the" success of this symposium.
Special appreciation is extended to Professor J. I. Robertson, C.
P. Miles Professor of History, whose presentation following the
banquet on the American Civil War was very well received by the
audience. Finally, we wish to also thank our joint secretaries,
especially Karen Snider, for their patience and help in finally
bringing these proceedings to press.

These volumes, 5 and 6, of Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics
constitute the proceedings of an international symposium on the
fracture mechanics of ceramic materials held at The Pennsylvania
State University, University Park, PA on July 15, 16, and 17, 1981.
These proceedings constitute the third pair of volumes of a con
tinuing series of conferences. Volumes 1 and 2 were from the 1973
symposium and volumes 3 and 4 from a 1977 symposium, both of which
were also held at Penn State. The theme of this conference, as the
previous two, focused on the mechanical behavior of ceramic
materials in terms of the characteristics of cracks, particularly
the roles which they assume in the fracture process. The 78

simply would not have been possible.
