Dislocation Dynamics and Plasticity (Lecture Notes in Economic and Mathematical Systems, #12) (Springer Series in Materials Science, #12) (Materials Science, Vol 12)

by Taira Suzuki, etc., S. Takeuchi, and H. Yoshinaga

This book is intended for graduate students and researchers and gives an illustrated account of the current understanding of the physics of plasticity. The plastic deformation of various types of crystals over a wide range of temperature is treated in terms of dynamical properties of dislocations. Special effects of plasticity, eg softening of metals at the superconducting transition and photoplastic effects in semiconducting crystals, are emphasized, as well as creep deformation in metals and composite materials.
