Omtale

This volume is a compilation of papers presented in the Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites symposium during the 34th International Conference & Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC) held January 24-29, 2010, in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites symposium was one of the largest symposia in terms of the number (>100) of presentations at the ICACC'10. This symposium covered wide ranging and cutting-edge topics on mechanical properties and reliability of ceramics and composites and their correlations to processing, microstructure, and environmental effects. Symposium topics included: Ceramics and composites for engine applicationsDesign and life prediction methodologiesEnvironmental effects on mechanical propertiesMechanical behavior of porous ceramicsUltra high temperature ceramicsTernary compoundsMechanics & characterization of nanomaterials and devicesNovel test methods and equipmentProcessing - microstructure - mechanical properties correlationsCeramics & composites joining and testingNDE of ceramic components
