Annotation

This volume is a compilation of papers presented in the Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites symposium during the 34th International Conference & Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC) held January 24-29, 2010, in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites symposium was one of the largest symposia in terms of the number (>100) of presentations at the ICACC'10. This symposium covered wide ranging and cutting-edge topics on mechanical properties and reliability of ceramics and composites and their correlations to processing, microstructure, and environmental effects. Symposium topics included: <ul> <li>Ceramics and composites for engine applications</li> <li>Design and life prediction methodologies</li> <li>Environmental effects on mechanical properties</li> <li>Mechanical behavior of porous ceramics</li> <li>Ultra high temperature ceramics</li> <li>Ternary compounds</li> <li>Mechanics & characterization of nanomaterials and devices</li> <li>Novel test methods and equipment</li> <li>Processing - microstructure - mechanical properties correlations</li> <li>Ceramics & composites joining and testing</li> <li>NDE of ceramic components</li> </ul>
