"Proceedings of the Fourth Alfred Conference on the Fractography of Glasses and Ceramics, held July 9-12, 2000, at Alfred University, Alfred, New York."

Provides an excellent one-stop resource for understanding the most important current issues in the research and applications of fractography of glasses and ceramics.

Proceedings of the July 1995 conference. The 25 contributions are arranged in the order they were presented. Topics include the VAMAS fractography round robin; European guidelines for fractography of advanced ceramics; lifetime prediction tests on commercial grades of alumina and silicon carbide; sp

This volume contains papers presented at The Fifth Conference on the Fractography of Glasses and Ceramics Held in Rochester, New York, July 9-13 2006. Chapters include The Fracture Process at the Crack Tip, Fundamental Phenomena, Fractography of Contact Damage in Glasses and Ceramics, Identifying and Understanding Flaws in Ceramics, Fractography of Dental and Biomaterials, Fractography of Components, and Fracture Phenomena in Geology. This text provides a useful one-stop resource for understanding the most important issues in the research and applications of fractography of glasses and ceramics.

An advanced 1999 text for those working in materials science and related inter-disciplinary subjects.

A comprehensive reference on the properties, selection, processing, and applications of the most widely used nonmetallic engineering materials. Section 1, General Information and Data, contains information applicable both to polymers and to ceramics and glasses. It includes an illustrated glossary, a collection of engineering tables and data, and a guide to materials selection. Sections 2 through 7 focus on polymeric materials--plastics, elastomers, polymer-matrix composites, adhesives, and sealants--with the information largely updated and expanded from the first three volumes of the Engineered Materials Handbook. Ceramics and glasses are covered in Sections 8 through 12, also with updated and expanded information. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
