Interfaces and Plasticity
Dislocations were introduced into crystal physics, and particularly into the theory of plasticity, in 1934. For many years, they were the field of speculation of a small group of specialists, not considered seriously by real physicists and metallurgists. After W.T. Read Jr's fundamental work in 1953 and further developments by Cottrel, Friedel, Frank and Hirsch, dislocations had become part of the working vocabulary of solid-state physics and metallurgy. -

Dislocations '93
This publication bears witness of a renewal of the studies on dislocations. The texts of the lectures as well as those of the contributions illustrate, indeed, the wide spectrum of the present concerns. The openings towards physics, mechanics, even electrochemistry or geology, the new experimental approaches will certainly benefit to the investigation of new materials and complex situations. -
Macro-, Meso-, Micro- and Nano-Mechanics of Materials
This compilation of selected papers has, as its principal objective, the discussion of state-of-the-art technologies and recent developments in the macro-, meso-, micro- and nano-mechanics of materials and structures. -
Advances in Experimental Mechanics IV
The papers in this useful volume reflect the diverse nature of Experimental Mechanics. They cover topics ranging from small-scale experimentation to the assessment of full-scale structures. Novel sensing and sensor technologies are fully covered, as well as full-field techniques for stress/strain analysis. A section on applications and case studies features an entire session dedicated to vehicle component studies. The stresses which develop during manufacture and forming are covered in a session dedicated to manufacturing processes.
