When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often catastrophic, instantaneous, and total. Now in its Second Edition, this important book arms readers with a thorough and accurate understanding of the causes of these failures and how to design ceramics for failure avoidance. It systematically covers:

Stress and strain
Types of mechanical behavior
Strength of defect-free solids
Linear elastic fracture mechanics
Measurements of elasticity, strength, and fracture toughness
Subcritical crack propagation
Toughening mechanisms in ceramics
Effects of microstructure on toughness and strength
Cyclic fatigue of ceramics
Thermal stress and thermal shock in ceramics
Fractography
Dislocation and plastic deformation in ceramics
Creep and superplasticity of ceramics
Creep rupture at high temperatures and safe life design
Hardness and wear
And more

While maintaining the first edition's reputation for being an indispensable professional resource, this new edition has been updated with sketches, explanations, figures, tables, summaries, and problem sets to make it more student-friendly as a textbook in undergraduate and graduate courses on the mechanical properties of ceramics.
