Dislocation Theory
“Dislocation Theory” covers the research into this fascinating field which was reported in the period: 1995-1999. The coverage is limited to purely theoretical work; more practical aspects having certainly been covered by the relevant DDF volumes during that period. As indicated above, the widest possible range of dislocation phenomena has been included; with the exception of liquid crystal defects. But the coverage also includes that close relative of the dislocation; the disclination. -
Creep and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures
Recent research on the creep and fracture of engineering materials is presented, with particular emphasis being placed on: mechanisms of high-temperature deformation and fracture, materials for high-temperature service, the behavior of single and polycrystals, components and structures, grain boundaries and interfaces, and superplasticity. -
Superplasticity in Advanced Materials - ICSAM-94
While the superplastic phenomenon was first demonstrated in scientific experiments conducted in the United Kingdom, much of the early systematic work in this area was performed in Russia. This volume covers the recent developments concerning superplastictity phenomena in many materials classes of current interest. -
Fracture and Strength of Solids III
This 2-vol. set covers a broad range of areas related to the fracture of materials, including fracture mechanics, dynamic fracture, fatigue, creep, environmental effects, damage mechanics, analytical and computational mechanics, reliability and failure analysis, and materials behavior. -
Diffusion and Stresses
The problem of the interrelationship between diffusion and stresses is as old as the investigation of diffusion itself. Crack formation during surface oxidation, stress-induced diffusion (creep, Gorsky-effect) and the macroscopic deformation of diffusion couples during interdiffusion are well-known classical examples. -
Fracture of Composites
The potential of composites cannot be fully realized unless their fracture modes and failure mechanisms are fully understood, and appropriate design tools for failure prediction are developed and verified. -
High Pressure Technology of Nanomaterials
The aim of the celebrated High Pressure School (HPS) is to provide a platform where both young and experienced researchers can meet and exchange their experiences in high-pressure research techniques. -
Advances in Safety and Structural Integrity 2005
The main objective of this collection of 39 authoritative articles is to share the latest information on cutting-edge technologies in the field of safety and structural integrity. -
Plasticity of Metals and Alloys
Confirming the fact that the various phenomena related to plasticity of metals and alloys continue to constitute a highly active field of research where many interesting developments are currently taking place, this volume presents 63 articles by well-known experts, on the topics of current interest. -
Local Lattice Rotations and Disclinations in Microstructures of Distorted Crystalline Materials
The last few years have witnessed a rapidly growing interest in the explanation and interpretation of the mesoscale microstructures which occur in distorted crystalline objects such as, for instance, conventional plastically deformed metals and alloys, as well as high-performance materials including ultra-fine grained polycrystals, nanocrystals and thin films.
