Synopsis
Contains 21 papers from a May 1999 symposium on continuous fiber-reinforced advanced ceramic composites, related tests methods, materials characterization, and design applications. Papers are divided into four major categories of room-temperature test results and methods, test results and methods related to design implications, environmental effects and characterization, and damage accumulation and material development. Specific topics include notch-sensitivity of a woven oxide/oxide ceramic matrix composite, effects of microstructural damage on the thermal diffusivity of continuous fiber- reinforced ceramic matrix composites, and degradation of continuous fiber ceramic matrix composites under constant load conditions. The editors are affiliated with the University of Washington; Oak Ridge National Laboratory; and Gateway Materials Technology. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Synopsis
Mechanical, Thermal and Environmental Testing and Performance of: Ceramic Composites and Components. This concise, archival reference examines the results of the latest research and development programs on continuous fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs). It examines specific issues, such as thermal stresses, stress gradients, measurement capabilities, gripping methods, environmental effects, statistical considerations, and limited material quantities. 22 peer-reviewed papers are divided into 4 major categories: Room-Temperature Test Results/Methods Test Results/Methods Related to Design Implications Environmental Effects and Characterization Damage Accumulation and Material Development.
