500 _aText/reference presents a systematic introductory treatment of the current understanding, supplemented by empirical facts, of the subject and describes the role of microstructure in determining the effect of mechanical properties of ceramics. Chapters on each of the major types of structural ceramics provide a guide to achievable mechanical properties. Discusses design for specified levels of safety and for minimal life under service conditions. Includes scores of illustrations, tables and figures
