Abstract

One of the key requirements in developing composites and other advanced materials is generation of a good understanding of the relationships between composition and structure on the one hand, and properties and behavior on the other. Another key requirement is application of this understanding to develop a material with the desired properties. A third key requirement is to understand the new material's failure mechanisms. All of these are wrapped in the term `characterization', which is the subject of this paper. Application of numerous materials' characterization techniques to the study of ceramic composites is described.
