Papers are presented on cyclic fatigue of alumnia, fatigue crack growth in ceramics and ceramic-matrix composites, fatigue test methodology and results for ceramic matrix composites at room and elevated temperatures, and modeling crack growth resistance in ceramics and ceramic-matrix composites. Attention is also given to thermomechanical cyclic deformation of metal-matrix composites, the effect of tensile mean stress on the fatigue behavior of single-crystal and directionally solidified superalloys, the influence of constituent properties on the compression behavior of aluminates with discontinuities, and cyclic creep effects in single-overlap bonded joints under constant-amplitude testing. Other papers discuss an ultrasonic wave technique to assess cyclic-load fatigue damage in silicon-carbide whisker-reinforced 2124 aluminum alloy composites, nondestructive characterization for metal-matrix composite fabrication, NDE of a ceramic matrix composite material, and split spectrum processing of backscattered Rayleigh wave signals to improve detectability of fatigue microcracks.
