Ceramic Abstracts/World Ceramics Abstracts is produced by Cambridge Scientific Abstracts in conjunction with CERAM Research Ltd. This is a comprehensive database for the ceramics industry, providing international coverage on the manufacture, processing, applications, properties and testing of traditional and advanced ceramics.
Sources covered include over 3,000 periodicals, conference proceedings, technical reports, trade journal/newsletter items, patents, books, and press releases.
Subject Coverage
Major areas of coverage include:
- whitewares (tableware, sanitary-ware, tiles)
- functional, technical and advanced ceramics (electro-ceramics,
engineering ceramics, composites)
- abrasives
- building ceramics (bricks, pipes, roofing tiles, cement-based
materials)
- refractories
- glass
- raw materials
- ceramics processing and treatment
- properties and testing
- applications (e.g. bioceramics, automotive, aerospace, nuclear)
- commercial and economic information
- legislation and standards
- environmental and pollution information
- metal-ceramic systems
Dates of Coverage
Approximately 1975-current. The oldest record in the database has a publication date of 1971; about 50% of its records have publication dates of 1990 or later. Update Frequency
Once a month. Approximately 15,000 new records are added per year. Size
Over 0 records as of May 2013 Thesaurus
The database is indexed using a master authority file of about 40,000 controlled-vocabulary terms. Older records in this database were indexed using a file-specific thesaurus; this thesaurus has now been incorporated into the master authority file. Print Equivalent

Abstract
The asymmetrical four-point bend (AFPB) method, which provides
a pure shear stress state in the middle of the test specimen,
was used to measure the shear strength of the joints between Nicalon-fibre-reinforced
SiC composites. The small test specimens were prepared as butt-joints
with uniform depth (no notch). It was shown experimentally that
the position of loading points is critical to induce shear fracture
at the joint without the failure of base material. The appropriate
positions for the test specimen were determined and, as a result,
an articulated ceramic fixture was designed. This test method
is economical, involves small test specimens with simple geometry,
and can be used at high temperatures. 6 refs. |
