Mechanical Behavior of Ceramics

  • Chapter
Fracture of Non-Metallic Materials

Part of the book series: Ispra Courses ((ISPA))

Abstract

The main definitions of what ceramic materials and ceramic processes are have been recalled first, and the characteristics of the brittle behaviour of ceramics have been reviewed. The case of alumina has been exemplified, to show the influence of microstructural parameters.
