Synopsis

Provides an essential basis for an understanding of many of the physical and mechanical properties of crystalline solids. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to reflect developments in the understanding of the subject, whilst retaining the clarity and comprehensibility of the original text. Substantial new sections are included, notably in topics relating to experiemental technqiues, the elastic properties of dislocations, forces on dislocations, dislocations in particular crystal structures, the dislocation content of boundaries, and the strength of crystalline solids.

About this title

Review

'This book fits a very much needed slot as it is written at a level that is much easier to understand than the classic old texts on dislocations...and is, for that reason, ideal for both undergraduates and beginning or interdisciplinary graduate students.' --Kevin J. Hemker, Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University

'One of the most striking advantages of the book is the concise and lucid text...There are many books dealing with dislocations but only one up-to-date introduction. It is warmly recommended to teachers and students in solid state sciences' --Crystallization Technology

'As we grow older, we tend to grow fatter but wiser. This is certainly the case of the 4th edition of 'Introduction to Dislocations'...the book is excellent value and there is no excuse why every student of metallurgy should not be familiar with its contents, and every researcher have it readily to hand.' --Steel Times

From the Publisher

A wider range of materials has emerged since 1965, most notably in the field of electronics and micro-engineering. The principles of dislocation theory still apply but some of the detail requires further treatment.This fourth edition pct, whilst retaining the clarity and comprehensibility of the previous editions.
