More About This Textbook
Overview
Focuses on the effects of porosity and microcracking on the physical properties of ceramics, particularly nominally single phase ceramics. The book elucidates the fundamental interrelationships determining the development and use of materials for actual and potential engineering needs. It aims to help in the understanding of porosity effects on other materials, from ceramic composties, cements and plasters to rocks, metals and polymers.;College or university bookshops may order five or more copies at a special student price, available on request.

Focusing on the effects of porosity and microcracking on the physical properties of ceramics and other materials, this text covers the interrelationships determining the development and use of materials for engineering needs. The major emphasis is on porosity dependence of mechanical properties, although attention is given to other physical properties such as electrical and thermal conductivity electrical breakdown, dielectric constant, piezoelectric and magnetic properties.
