Dislocation dynamics during plastic deformation

Covers the major achievements in the understanding of the dynamics and the formation of dislocations in solid materials during the plastic deformation A special feature are the excellent TEM micrographs to explain the features of dislocations Another didactically important component is the demonstration of dislocation motion and formation during plastic deformation, shown in video sequences which can be downloaded from the Springer homepage Both a reference work and an excellent study text Includes supplementary material: sn. pub/extras
