From the Back Cover

Presents state-of-the-art and comprehensive information on various aspects of ceramic matrix composites

Ceramic composites are considered as enabling technology for advanced aeropropulsion, space propulsion, space power, aerospace vehicles, space structures, ground transportation, as well as nuclear and chemical industries. In the last thirty years, tremendous progress has been made in the development and advancement of ceramic matrix composites (CMC). Ceramic Matrix Composites: Materials, Modeling and Technologyprovides a coherent overview of the progression and guides readers through the recent developments on various aspects of CMCs, including:

• Behavior and properties of constituents: fibers, fiber/matrix interfaces and interphases, and preforms
• Processing, properties and technology of continuous fiber-reinforced C/C, C/SiC, C/C-SiC, SiC/SiC, oxide/oxide, and ultra-high temperature ceramic composites as well as applications of CMCs in key sectors including aeronautics, space, and nuclear industries
• Environmental effects, including effects of steam, on oxide/oxide composites; stress-oxidation degradation in SiC-based composites; thermomechanical ablation; radiation effects on SiC-based and carbon fiber composites; foreign object damage
• Protective coatings against oxidation and surface recession of CMCs
• Multiscale modeling of material behavior and computational simulation of life of engineering structures
• Integration and joining of CMCs and mechanical testing of joined structures
• Acoustic emission based detection and quantification of damage with a view to life-prediction

With chapters contributed by internationally recognized experts in the field of CMCs and its coverage of the state-of-the art information, this book is recommended for scientists, engineers, technologists, and researchers in industry, research laboratories and academia. Students in materials science, ceramics, structural materials, mechanical, civil and biomedical engineering will find it an advantageous supplement to their studies.
