- Summary:
- "This text provides a comprehensive introduction to infrared-transparent materials that must withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as high-speed flight or high-temperature process monitoring. Each section contains introductory explanation sufficient to be understood by a person trained in science or engineering. The book also serves as a reference for material properties. Numerical examples are included in every chapter to augment the reader's ability to apply the subject matter to practical problems. The book builds on its predecessors from 1992 and 1999, benefitting from additional years of developments in the field and experience of the author. Contents: Optical properties of materials (2 chapters). Mechanical properties. Weibull statistics and mechanical design. Thermal properties and thermal shock. Fabrication of infrared materials. Optical finishing. Optical coatings. Erosion and impact protection. Slow crack growth. Proof testing and window lifetime design. Appendices containing optical and material properties for design and engineering. Index."-- Provided by publisher.
