An Introduction to the Mechanical Properties of Ceramics (Cambridge Solid State Science Series)

Rating:
Summary: A complete review of the mechanical behavior of ceramics
Review: Green gives a very thorough and comprehensive introduction to the mechanical behavior, fracture mechanism and structural characterization of ceramics. As an industrial scientist, this book has greatly helped me in understanding the origin of failure in various materials and optimizing the microstructure of the ceramic to improve its mechanical properties. Figures and photos are concise and illustrative. The comprehension exercices at the end of the book could be helpful to the student I once was.
