Life Prediction Methodologies and Data for Ceramic Materials (Special Testing Publications)

Booknews

Proceedings of a symposium held at Cocoa Beach, Florida, in January 1993. Papers are divided into three sections: data and model development, life predictions methodologies, and prediction of the behavior of structural components. Topics include the applicability of fracture mechanism maps to silicon nitride, monotonic and cyclic rupture of a silicon nitride ceramic, numerical evaluation of failure theories for brittle materials, and evaluation of tests for measuring the strength of ceramic tubes.
