Plastic deformation and fracture of materials

This volume focuses on the mechanisms of plastic deformation and fatigue affecting the properties and performance of a wide variety of materials. Topics included are: flow stress and work hardening, dislocation patterning, solid solution strengthening, particle strengthening, superlasticity, inelastic deformations, cyclic deformation, fracture mechanisms, friction and wear, high-temperature deformation and creep, deformation and textures of metals at large strains.
