This book presents papers given at an international symposium on the fracture mechanics of ceramic materials held in Pennsylvania in 1981. Focuses on the mechanical behavior of ceramic materials in terms of the characteristics of cracks, particularly the roles which they assume in the fracture process. Topics include the impact damage resistance of flat glass/cellular glass solar mirror experimental panels; the effect of crystallites on the size of flaws introduced during surface damage in glassceramics; analytical and experimental evaluation of biaxial contact stress; a probabilistic framework for structural design; the stress corrosion limit; effects of oxidation on the reliability of silicon nitride; implications of time dependent and environmental response of structural ceramics in life estimating procedures; biaxial stress state effects on strengths of ceramics failing from pores; and the relationship between microcrack zones and toughness of fine grained alumina and coarse grained graphites.
