Ceramic Matrix Composites 
Materials, Modeling and Technology

This book is a comprehensive source of information on various
aspects of ceramic matrix composites (CMC). It covers ceramic and
carbon fibers; the fiber-matrix interface; processing, properties
and industrial applications of various CMC systems; architecture,
mechanical behavior at room and elevated temperatures,
environmental effects and protective coatings, foreign object
damage, modeling, life prediction, integration and joining. Each
chapter in the book is written by specialists and internationally
renowned researchers in the field. This book will provide
state-of-the-art information on different aspects of CMCs. The book
will be directed to researchers working in industry, academia, and
national laboratories with interest and professional competence on
CMCs. The book will also be useful to senior year and graduate
students pursuing degrees in ceramic science and engineering,
materials science and engineering, aeronautical, mechanical, and
civil or aerospace engineering.

* Presents recent advances, new approaches and discusses new
issues in the field, such as foreign object damage, life
predictions, multiscale modeling based on probabilistic approaches,
etc.

* Caters to the increasing interest in the application of ceramic
matrix composites (CMC) materials in areas as diverse as aerospace,
transport, energy, nuclear, and environment. CMCs are considered
ans enabling technology for advanced aeropropulsion, space
propulsion, space power, aerospace vehicles, space structures, as
well as nuclear and chemical industries.

* Offers detailed descriptions of ceramic and carbon fibers;
fiber-matrix interface; processing, properties and industrial
applications of various CMC systems; architecture, mechanical
behavior at room and elevated temperatures, environmental effects
and protective coatings, foreign object damage, modeling, life
prediction, integration/joining.
