This book presents a comprehensive review, evaluation, and summary of the dependence of
mechanical properties on grain and particle parameters of monolithic ceramics and ceramic …

Indentation test using a cylindrical indenter with a flat end is now known as impression test.
The advantage is its capability to reach a steady state for creep test at constant load and it is …

The use of composite materials, because of their light weight and high performance, has
increased manifold over the years, starting from aerospace to building applications …

Significant progress has been made in the past few years in both the scientific
understanding of high temperature structural silicides and in their technological …

Impression creep and impression fatigue, both using cylindrical indenters, are reviewed in
this paper. For impression creep, analytical solutions and computer simulations for different …

Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi 2) is a promising candidate material for high temperature
structural applications. It is a high melting point (2030° C) material with excellent oxidation …

Effects of alloying elements on the compression deformation behavior of single crystals of
MoSi2 have been investigated in the temperature range from room temperature to 1500° C …

Structural silicides have important high temperature applications in oxidizing and aggressive
environments. Most prominent are MoSi2‐based materials, which are borderline ceramic …

Refractory metal silicides and nitride-based ceramics combine two properties that may lead
to substantial reductions in aircraft fuel consumption: compared to the most advanced nickel …

The fabrication and properties of electrically conductive Si3N4–MoSi2 composites using two
different sintering additive systems were investigated (i) Y2O3–Al2O3 and (ii) Lu2O3. It was …
