A unique combination of the basic science and fundamental aspects of joints and interfaces with the engineering aspects of the subject. Contributors include researchers drawn from several Eastern European countries. Topics addressed include processing, interfacial reactions, graded joints, residual stress measurement and analysis, and failure and deformation. Audience: Academic and industrial researchers and ceramic manufacturers interested in understanding the current state of the art in joining.Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Bled, Slovenia, November 12-15, 1997A unique combination of the basic science and fundamental aspects of joints and interfaces with the engineering aspects of the subject.
