Alex realized he couldn't change the ceramic's composition easily, but he could change the geometry. He went back to the lab, machined a thinner sample (reducing the thermal gradient distance), and ran the test again. The sample survived.

First published in 1960, with a landmark second edition in 1976 co-authored with H.K. Bowen and D.R. Uhlmann, this book transformed ceramics from an empirical craft into a rigorous engineering discipline. The Shift from Art to Science Alex realized he couldn't change the ceramic's composition

Unlike perfect crystals, the behavior of real-world engineering ceramics is governed by imperfections. Kingery introduces point defects using Kröger-Vink notation, discussing:
