Mechanical Properties and Performance of Engineering Ceramics and Composites A Collection of Papers Presented at the 29th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, Jan 23-28, 2005, Cocoa Beach, FL, Volume 26, Issue 2

Over 45 papers included in this collection present the latest advances in research and development on the processing, mechanics and mechanical properties of advanced ceramics and composites. The focus is on the underlying fundamental linkages between microstructure and properties, and the ability to achieve desired properties through innovative processing techniques including design, modeling, evaluation and life-prediction of structural components, ceramics and composites.
