Jacques Lamon received an award from the Seymour Cray company in 1990 for his work on failure statistics based predictions of brittle failure. In 2006, he was elected Fellow of the American Ceramic Society. In 2007 he received the First Prize of Best Paper Awards from the American Ceramic Society. He has authored a book on « Mechanics of brittle fracture and damage: probabilistic approaches » (in French), more than 300 technical articles (including 200 refereed journal and conference proceedings articles) on ceramics reliability, and the thermomechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced ceramic matrix composites. He has edited a book on Ceramic Matrix Composites, he has contributed to 13 books; he was the editor of 14 conference proceedings, and 3 journal special issues (Composite Science & Technology and Annales de Chimie journals). He is also the author/co-author of more than 15 testing method standards (CEN). He presented more than 70 invited lectures.
