Concluding Remarks
This conclusion presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents the background, testing procedures, and analysis methodology needed to assess the fracture behavior of brittle materials, particularly ceramics. It emphasizes that ceramics should be considered as a broad category of brittle materials, ranging from single crystals of semiconducting compounds to polycrystalline bodies containing multiple grains as well as grain boundary phases. Most materials that fail in a brittle manner are subjected to a susceptibility to slow crack growth due to environmental conditions. This phenomenon is critical to behavior and design. It means that a material may survive initial loading, but may fail after some time under load. The book further describes the importance of knowledge of the source of failure through fractographic examinations. All materials that fail in a brittle manner have similar fracture characteristics.
