Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics Active Materials, Nanoscale Materials, Composites, Glass And Fundamentals

The 8th International Symposium on fracture mechanics of ceramics was held in on the campus of the University of Houston, Houston, TX, USA, on February 25-28, 2003. With the natural maturing of the fields of structural ceramics, this symposium focused on nano-scale materials, composites, thin films and coatings as well as glass. The symposium also addressed new issues on fundamentals of fracture mechanics and contact mechanics, and a session on reliability and standardization.White, Ken W. is the author of 'Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics Active Materials, Nanoscale Materials, Composites, Glass And Fundamentals', published 2005 under ISBN 9780387241340 and ISBN 0387241345.
