This book provides both a summary and a comprehensive view of the dependence of ceramic mechanical properties on grain and particle sizes and other parameters. It examines materials ranging from traditional to high-tech "monolithic" ceramics¿traditional ceramic composites.

Bridging the gap between textbook science and real-world engineering and operational applications, this reference presents comprehensive and easy-to-follow summaries and evaluations of fabrication techniques for ceramic and ceramic composite specimens and components

Focuses on the effects of porosity and microcracking on the physical properties of ceramics, particularly nominally single phase ceramics. This book elucidates the fundamental interrelationships determining the development and use of materials for actual and potential engineering needs.

Presents a review, evaluation and summary of the dependence of mechanical properties on grain and particle parameters of monolithic ceramics and ceramic composites. This book covers the grain dependence of monolithic properties and the dependence of ceramic, composite properties on grain and particulate parameters.
