Mechanical, Thermal and Environmental Testing and Performance of Ceramic Composites and Components (ASTM, 2000).pdf

ISBN 080312872X

This concise, archival reference examines the results of the latest research and development programs on continuous fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs). It examines specific issues, such as thermal stresses, stress gradients, measurement capabilities, gripping methods, environmental effects, statistical considerations, and limited material quantities. 22 peer-reviewed papers are divided into 4 major categories: • Room-Temperature Test Results/Methods • Test Results/Methods Related to Design Implications • Environmental Effects and Characterization • Damage Accumulation and Material Development Please note: This volume serves as an excellent companion to STP 1309/Thermal and Mechanical Test Methods and Behavior of Continuous-Fiber Ceramic Composites. This publication will be of value to • Gas Turbine Designers • Materials Scientists • Ceramicists • Power Systems Engineers • Mechanical and Design Engineers
