The book enables better design, manufacture, performance, and reliability of brittle materials as elements in structural components. Emphasizing the practical applications of indentation fracture techniques, especially those of indentation-strength, the book builds on a development of indentation fracture mechanics to demonstrate clear quantitative comparisons and rankings of material fracture behavior, including the behavior of toughened materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book includes several case studies linking indentation fracture analyses and measurements to other phenomena including fragmentation cracking, edge chipping and dicing damage, scratching and the Mohs scale, and semiconductor grinding damage. Each case study highlights a different aspect of controlled flaw fracture measurements. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book enables readers to increase the utilization of glasses, ceramics, semiconductors, and similar brittle materials in load-bearing applications by demonstrating experimental indentation techniques to better characterize fracture. A primary focus of the book is demonstration of controlled flaw indentation-strength measurements. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by an independent scientist with significant research contributions to the field, \u003ci\u003eIndentation Fracture\u003c\/i\u003e explores a range of topics including: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrittle fracture fundamentals, discussing equilibrium fractures on uniform and localized loading leading to the Griffith and Roesler equations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndentation strength variation, covering the effects of contact angle, spherical and flat punch contacts, and contacts in stressed and layered components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToughened materials strength observations in alumina, silicon nitride, glass ceramics, ferroelastics, and zirconia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrengths of silicon devices determined by wafer backgrinding, covering linear flaws in silicon, including single and multiple scratches, as well as linear, general, controlled, and grinding flaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndentation Fracture\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference on the subject for engineers across disciplines, nanotechnologists, geophysicists, and environmental scientists, along with graduate students in materials science and related programs of study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert F.
