Books in the Materials Science Monographs series

Reviews problems in the mechanical behaviour of cyclically loaded metallic materials, primarily with regard to the nature of the fatigue process. This book focuses on physical-metallurgical aspects, and provides knowledge on physical metallurgical processes that accompany and affect the fatigue of metallic materials.

Ceramic materials are prepared by ceramic technology, and powder substances are used as the initial raw materials. Their physical properties are an expression not only of their composition but primarily of their structure. This book aims to provide a knowledge of the structure of ceramics.
