New Volume in Ceramic Composites Field Published

ATP and ASTM have announced the publication of a new book - Mechanical, Thermal and Environmental Testing and Performance of Ceramic Composites and Components.

It is described as a concise, archival reference which examines the results of the latest research and development programmes on continuous fibre 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 four major categories:

• Room-Temperature Test Results/Methods
• Test Results/Methods Related to Design Implications
• Environmental Effects and Characterisation
• Damage Accumulation and Material Development

The book runs to 340 pages in hard cover and costs £104 (ASTM Member: £93.60) or 182 euro (ASTM Member: 163.80 euro).
