Fibre-reinforced glass/glass-ceramic matrix composites... 

The techniques for fabricating glass/glass-ceramic matrix composites are based on the final properties and performance of the resultant composite. 

Compared with other structural materials there is a relative dearth of fatigue data for ceramics, and it is therefore not surprising that little is known of the fatigue behaviour of glass-ceramic matrix composites. It appears... 

The applications of glass/glass-ceramic matrix composites (CMC) can be divided into two specific categories aerospace applications and non-aerospace applications. In aerospace applications, performance is the prime consideration, while in non-aerospace applications cost-effectiveness is paramount. The characteristic properties of materials for aerospace applications should be...
