Abstract

Infrared window and dome materials are classified as ceramics, which is a broad term encompassing inorganic, nonmetallic materials. Ceramics are typically brittle, stable at high temperature, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. In this chapter we discuss the mechanical behavior of brittle materials, which are somewhat different from ductile metals.
