<p><b>Comprehensive book systematically covering interface design, characterization, and properties of ceramic-matrix composites</b> <p>This application-oriented book helps material scientists and engineering designers understand and master the interface of ceramic-matrix composites. It demonstrates the definition, function, and type of the interface of ceramic-matrix composites and gives comprehensive investigations on the interface design, interface characterization, interface assessment, and interface damage law of both C/SiC and SiC/SiC ceramic-matrix composites subjected to tensile and fatigue loading at different testing conditions. <p><i>Interfaces of Ceramic-Matrix Composites. Design, Characterization and Damage Effects</i> starts with an introduction to the definition, function, and design of interface in ceramic-matrix composites. It discusses the effects of interphase on sliding resistance and thermal misfit stress and covers both PyC and BN interphases. The books also examines the effect of: interface properties on tensile and fatigue behavior of ceramic-matrix composites; pre-exposure on tensile damage and fracture of ceramic-matrix composites; and interface properties on lifetime of ceramic-matrix composites. Other chapters study: relationships between interface slip and temperature rising in CMCs; interface damage law at room and elevated temperatures; the effect of temperature, oxidation, and fiber preforms on interface damage of CMCs; and much more. <ul> <li>Focuses on the interface which dominates the properties of ceramic-matrix composites</li> <li>Helps material designers and engineers to better design ceramic-matrix composite components for applications</li> <li>Comprehensively covers time-dependent mechanical behavior of CMCs at elevated temperatures</li> </ul> <p><i>Interfaces of Ceramic-Matrix Composites. Design, Characterization and Damage Effects</i> is an ideal book for materials scientists, surface chemists, ceramics industry professionals, aerospace physicians, and aerospace and construction engineers.
