Volumes 11 and 12 of the series contain the 90 papers of an international symposium in Karlsruhe, Germany, in July 1995, which continued the investigation of failure behavior in monolithic engineering ceramics and reinforced ceramics. Addresses recent developments in the understanding and modelling

Volumes 9 and 10 (see following entry) comprise the proceedings of an international symposium on the fracture mechanics of ceramic materials held in Nagoya, Japan, July 1991. Scientists address many of the theoretical and practical issues of brittle fractures and explore recent developments in monol

Papers from the July 1995 symposium present recent research in modeling the failure behavior of monolithic engineering ceramics and reinforced ceramics, concentrating on R-curve behavior, toughness determination, surface effects, composite materials, high temperature behavior, ceramic-metal joints,

This volume of Thermal Stresses in terials and Structures in Severe Thermal Environments constitutes the proceedings of an international conference held at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA, on 1arch 19, 20 and 21, 1980. The purpose of the conference was to bring together experts in the areas of heat transfer, theoretical and applied mechanics amd materials science and engineering, with a.common interest in the highly interdisciplinary nature of the thermal stress problem. It is the hope of the program chairmen that the resulting interac tion has...
