An Introduction to the Mechanical Properties of Ceramics
Ceramic materials are finding use in a myriad of new applications as scientists design these materials with new structures and properties. Some of these new applications are structural and it is essential to understand the factors that control the mechanical behavior. Non-structural applications are also being developed. In both cases, it is necessary to design mechanically reliable materials. This book introduces the reader to the essential and current concepts in the field, as a learning text for students and as a useful reference source for practicing engineers.

Ceramics: Mechanical Properties, Failure Behaviour, Materials Selection
This book describes failure phenomena in ceramic materials under mechanical loading, methods for determining the material properties, and the principles that one should apply when selecting a material. The fracture-mechanical and statistical principles and their use in describing the scatter of strength and lifetime are also covered. Special chapters are devoted to creep behaviour, multiaxial failure criteria and thermal shock behaviour.

Chemical Synthesis of Advanced Ceramic Materials
The author describes the variety of advanced ceramics and their conventional synthesis and fabrication. This is followed by a description of the range of non-conventional synthetic methods. The basic chemistry of the synthesis is described and well-illustrated by reference to ceramics made on both laboratory and industrial scales.
