Fundamentals of Ceramics provides readers with a comprehensive and concise introduction to the field of ceramic science. This second edition has been updated to include new problems and additional worked examples, while also introducing new chapter sections on Computational Materials Science and Case Studies.

The Computational Materials Science sections delve into the valuable insights that density functional theory and molecular dynamics calculations can provide, particularly for properties that are challenging to measure or visualize otherwise. These include surface energies, elastic constants, point defect energies, phonon modes, and more. The Case Studies sections, on the other hand, focus more on practical applications, such as solid oxide fuel cells, optical fibers, alumina forming materials, ultra-strong and thin glasses, glass-ceramics, strong and tough ceramics, fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites, thermal barrier coatings, the space shuttle tiles, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, two-dimensional solids, field-assisted and microwave sintering, colossal magnetoresistance, and numerous other areas.

By presenting a clear and comprehensive overview of ceramic science, Fundamentals of Ceramics serves as an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field. With its updated content and expanded coverage, this edition is sure to remain a staple in the ceramic literature for years to come.
