Mechanical Properties and Performance of Engineering Ceramics and Composites X: A Collection of Papers Presented at the 39th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites

The Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceeding has been published by The American Ceramic Society since 1980. This series contains a collection of papers dealing with issues in both traditional ceramics (i.e., glass, whitewares, refractories, and porcelain enamel) and advanced ceramics. Topics covered in the area of advanced ceramic include bioceramics, nanomaterials, composites, solid oxide fuel cells, mechanical properties and structural design, advanced ceramic coatings, ceramic armor, porous ceramics, and more.

Preface

This volume is a compilation of papers presented in the Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites symposium during the 39th International Conference & Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC) held January 25–30, 2015, in Daytona Beach, Florida.

This long-standing symposium received presentations on a wide variety of topics thus providing the opportunity for researchers in different areas of related fields to interact. This volume emphasizes some practical aspects of real-world engineering applications of materials such as oxidation, fatigue, wear, nondestructive evaluation, and mechanical behavior as associated with systems ranging from niobium carbide metal-matrix composites to lanthanum-strontium-manganite to oxide and carbide ceramic matrix composites. Symposium topics included:

Fabrication, Microstructure and Properties

Creep and Fatigue

Oxidation and Wear

NDE

Significant time and effort is required to organize a symposium and publish a proceeding volume. We would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the symposium organizers, invited speakers, session chairs, presenters, manuscript reviewers, and conference attendees for their enthusiastic participation and contributions. Finally, credit also goes to the dedicated, tireless and courteous staff at The American Ceramic Society for making this symposium a huge success.

Introduction

This CESP issue consists of papers that were submitted and approved for the proceedings of the 39th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC), held January 25–30, 2015 in Daytona Beach, Florida. ICACC is the most prominent international meeting in the area of advanced structural, functional, and nanoscopic ceramics, composites, and other emerging ceramic materials and technologies. This prestigious conference has been organized by the Engineering Ceramics Division (ECD) of The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) since 1977.

The 39th ICACC hosted more than 1,000 attendees from 40 countries and over 800 presentations. The topics ranged from ceramic nanomaterials to structural reliability of ceramic components which demonstrated the linkage between materials science developments at the atomic level and macro level structural applications. Papers addressed material, model, and component development and investigated the interrelations between the processing, properties, and microstructure of ceramic materials.

The 2015 conference was organized into the following 21 symposia and sessions:

The proceedings papers from this conference are published in the below seven issues of the 2015 CESP; Volume 36, Issues 2-8, as listed below.

Mechanical Properties and Performance of Engineering Ceramics and Composites X, CESP Volume 36, Issue 2 (includes papers from Symposium 1)

Advances in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells and Electronic Ceramics, CESP Volume 36, Issue 3 (includes papers from Symposium 3 and Focused Session 5)

Advances in Ceramic Armor XI, CESP Volume 36, Issue 4 (includes papers from Symposium 4)

Advances in Bioceramics and Porous Ceramics VIII, CESP Volume 36, Issue 5 (includes papers from Symposia 5 and 9)

Advanced Processing and Manufacturing Technologies for Nanostructured and Multifunctional Materials II, CESP Volume 36, Issue 6 (includes papers from Symposia 7 and 8 and Focused Sessions 4 and 6)

Ceramic Materials for Energy Applications V, CESP Volume 36, Issue 7 (includes papers from Symposia 6 and 13 and Focused Session 2)

Developments in Strategic Ceramic Materials, CESP Volume 36, Issue 8 (includes papers from Symposia 2, 10, 11, and 12; from Focused Sessions 1 and 3); the European-USA Engineering Ceramics Summit; and the 4th Annual Global Young Investigator Forum

The organization of the Daytona Beach meeting and the publication of these proceedings were possible thanks to the professional staff of ACerS and the tireless dedication of many ECD members. We would especially like to express our sincere thanks to the symposia organizers, session chairs, presenters and conference attendees, for their efforts and enthusiastic participation in the vibrant and cutting-edge conference.

ACerS and the ECD invite you to attend the Jubilee Celebration of the 40th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (http://www.ceramics.org/daytona2016) January 24-29, 2016 in Daytona Beach, Florida.

ABSTRACT

Mechanical and physical properties and performance of brittle bodies, including advanced ceramics and glasses, can be difficult to measure correctly unless the proper techniques are used. ASTM Committee C28 on Advanced Ceramics has developed numerous full-consensus standards (e.g., test methods, practices, guides, terminology) to measure various properties and performance of a monolithic and composite ceramics and coatings that, in some cases, may be applicable to glasses. These standards give the what, how, how not, why, why not, etc. for many mechanical, physical, and thermal properties and performance of advanced ceramics. Use of these standards provides accurate, reliable, repeatable and complete data. Involvement in ASTM Committee C28 has included users, producers, researchers, designers, academicians, etc. who write and continually update, as well as validate through round robin test programmes, more than 45 standards since the committee’ sinception in 1986. Included in this poster is a pictogram of the ASTM Committee C28 standards and how to obtain them either as i) individual copies with full details or ii) a complete collection in one volume. A listing of other ASTM committees that might be of interest is included. In addition, some examples of the tangible benefits of standards for advanced ceramics are employed to demonstrate their practical application.

KEYWORDS – ceramics, composites, coatings, standards, characterizations, properties, measurements.

INTRODUCTION

Demand for more efficient, environmentally-friendly heat engines, including gas turbines; unlubricated, wear-resistant bearings; long-lived, ever-sharp cutting implements, insulating, high-strength electronic packages, to name a few applications, have fueled extensive worldwide investigations of the mechanical, physical, and thermal behavior (and its subsequent characterization) of structural ceramics (SCs) and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). From an engineering perspective, determination of the properties and performance (e.g., mechanical, thermal, thermo-mechanical, physical, environmental, etc.) of SCs and CMCs is required for a number of reasons: 1) to provide basic characterization for purposes of materials development, quality control and comparative studies; 2) to provide a research tool for revealing the underlying mechanisms of properties and performance; and 3) to provide performance-prediction data for engineering applications and components design [1]. As SC and CMC prototypes and products reach the marketplace in greater numbers, the paucity of standards (i. e., test methods, classification systems, unified terminology, and reference materials ) for these materials and the lack of applicable design codes and their related data bases are limiting factors for their commercial diffusion and industrial acceptance
