Abstract
Modern high performance ceramics offer unique combinations of properties which make them very attractive materials for application in advanced heat engines. This paper will provide an introductory review of the brittle materials design procedures required for the successful application of ceramics as structural components. A case history of the iterative evolution of the design of one particular gas turbine stator will be examined as an illustration of these procedures. The current status of ceramics in both diesel and gas turbine applications is reviewed, with emphasis on automotive engine technology. The trade-offs and interrelationships between materials and design will be stressed throughout the paper.
