Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Fractography of Advanced Ceramics, held in Stará Lesná, Slovakia, October 3-6, 2004

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 collection of 33 papers deals with mechanical behaviors associated with systems ranging from diamond reinforced silicon carbide to rare earth pyrosilicates. Presented at The Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites Symposium in January 2012 during the 36th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC), it offers researchers from around the world the opportunity to explore new and emerging issues in all aspects of the field.
